After TELOPHASE II of meiosis, what is the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell?

Diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two daughter cells
Diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome
Haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome
Haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two daughter chromosomes

plz remember its telophase 2 not 1

Answer:

Haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosomal number of the daughter cells by half. Meiosis produces four daughter cells, which have half of the chromosomes of the parent cell. Meiotic process occurs in two division steps i.e. meiosis I and meiosis II, which each involves four stages namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

- During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes from parent), are separated into opposite poles while

- During meiosis II, sister chromatids (replicated chromosomes) separate into opposite poles.

Based on the above explanation, after TELOPHASE II of meiosis II, each daughter cell will be HAPLOID (n), and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome.
