Question

Which definition correctly describes a haploid cell during meiosis?

A) a cell that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
B) a cell that has two complete sets of chromosomes
C) a cell that has half the number of chromosomes as the daughter cell
D) a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes

Answer 1

Haploid cell is defined as a cell which contains one complete set of chromosomes.
therefore,
During meiosis haploid cell has one complete set of chromosomes.
hence the right option is D) a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes

Answer 2

Answer;

D) a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes.

Explanation;

During meiosis cells divide to give four daughter cells that have the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

The parent cell is a diploid; has two sets of chromosomes, and divides to give haploid daughter cells with a single set of chromosomes.

This type of cell division is used to form gametes (eggs and the sperms).
