Question

Which of the following statements is true of meiosis?

It divides one haploid cell into four diploid cells.

It divides one haploid cell into two diploid cells.

It divides one diploid cell into two haploid cells.

It divides one diploid cell into four haploid cells.

Answer 1

Meiosis sees where one diploid cell divides into four haploid cells.
This is why the product of meiosis is four daughter cells.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

D. It divides one diploid cell into four haploid cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a specific type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, forming four haploid cells, each genetically different from the parent cell that yielded growth to them. Meiosis is a method where a single cell divides double to produce four cells comprising half the innovative amount of genetic information.
