Question

Meiosis produces cells that have *

A. One fourth the number of chromosomes as other body cells

B. Half the number of chromosomes as other body cell

C. The same number of chromosomes as other body cells

D. Twice as many chromosomes as other body cells

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

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.
