Question

HELP!! Medal rewarded !!
During the production of gametes, homologous chromosomes have separated, and the cell is splitting into two daughter cells containing non-identical chromosomes, each consisting of two chromatids. Which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the life cycle of this cell?

A. The cell is in telophase I and will enter meiosis II next.

B. The cell will separate the chromatids, and cytokinesis will occur.

C. The cell will undergo DNA replication in order to become diploid again.

Answer 1

D. The cell is in anaphase II and will enter telophase II next.

Answer 2

I think the question is trying to get you to understand the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis leads to two daughter cells with identical pairs of chromosomes, whereas meiosis leads to two daughter cells with non-identical chromosomes, each consisiting of two chromatids. Meiosis leads to the production of gametes (eggs or sperm) exclusively. You can say that the cells will be gametes and might come together in a zygote if fertilization takes place. You can say they are gametes for sure though.

I hope this helps you out, if not post again and I'll see if I can explain better.
