Question

It divides one haploid cell into four diploid cells.

It divides one haploid cell into two diploid cells.

It divides one diploid cell into two haploid cells.

It divides one diploid cell into four haploid cells.

Answer 1

This question is all about what goes into meiosis and what comes out. One cell goes in. It duplicates its DNA *once*. Then it divides, so both its progeny have as much DNA as it went in with. Then *without replicating its DNA again* each of the two progeny cells divide again, to produce gametes.
