Two identical diploid cells undergo meiosis (let’s call them cell A and cell B). Do we expect the cells produced by meiosis of cell A and cell B to be genetically identical?

Answer:

They will be genetically identical.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.
