Which statement correctly describes the cells produced by meiosis?

A.The genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells.
B.The genetic material of the new cells is diploid.
C.The new cells are exact copies of the original cell.
D.The new cells are identical.

Answer 1

The answer is A: The genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. "The genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells".

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a special type of cellular division that take place during the formation of sexual cells by spermatogenesis and oogenesis. In meiosis, the genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells. Particularly, a diploid cell divides its genetic material by half, and creates four haploid cells.
