Question

How many daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis? * 1 point A.1 B.2 C.3 D. 4

Answer 1

Answer:

4 daughter cells are produced

Answer 2

• Meiosis - discovered by Strasburger in plants and coined by Farmer and Moore.

• This cell division reduces the chromosome number by half results in the production of four haploid daughter cells.

• The main significance of meiosis is conservation of specific chromosome number of each species.

• It also increases genetic variability in the population due to crossing over which occurs during pachytene stage of prophase - 1.

The answer to your question is option D (four daughter cells)
