Question

Which of the statements below correctly describes the relationship between the cells at the end of meiosis and the original cell? Select one: a. The new cells have two copies of half of the genetic information in the original cell. The new cells have one copy of all of the genetic information in the original cell. ob. c. * The new cells have two copies of all of the genetic information in the original cell. d. The new cells have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct statement that describes the relationship between the cells at the end of meiosis and the original cell is: "The new cells have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell." Therefore, option d is correct. During meiosis, a diploid cell divides into four haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Each of the haploid cells has one copy of each chromosome, which means that they have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell.
