What is the result of the meiosis on one cell?

A.) Eight genetically different haploid cells

B.) Four genetically different haploid cells

C.) Two genetically different haploid cells

D.) One genetically different haploid cell

The answer is C

process results in four daughtercells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parentcell. 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.

The correct answer is B. Four genetically different haploid cells.

Explanation

Meiosis is the name given to the process of reproduction in cells, which is characterized by giving genetic diversity in descendant cells, a key process for sexual reproduction that relates two different individuals to produce a new one, whose genetic material will be a combination of the previous two. Meiosis is the division of a diploid cell (2n) provided with two sets of chromosomes, into four haploids (n) cells, that is, provided with half the genetic load of the previous cell. So, the correct answer is B. Four genetically different haploid cells.
