alleryStarting from one diploid (2n) parent cell, meiosis produces
Atwo diploid daughter cells
Bone diploid + one haploid
Ctwo haploid daughter cells
Dfour haploid daughter cells
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. four haploid daughter cells
Meiosis = two divisions in a row.
Meiosis I halves count (1 → 2 haploid cells).
Meiosis II separates sister chromatids (2 → 4 haploid cells).
**End:** four haploid cells, each with a unique gene combination.
