alleryFrom one diploid (2n) cell, how many haploid daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis?
AOne
BEight
CTwo
DFour
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Four
1. Meiosis-I produces two haploid cells from one diploid cell.
2. In meiosis-II these two cells divide again like mitosis.
3. Therefore four haploid daughter cells are formed from one diploid cell.
4. Two is only the count after meiosis-I, so it is ruled out as the final answer.
