What do you think

OpenStudy (logan13):

d

rvc (rvc):

Why do you think so?

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

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.

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

you're ans is correct btw

So that means it's one answer

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

after meiosis I there are 2 haploid cells after meiosis II there are 4 haploid cells Mitosis results in 2 diploid cells (body cell, aka somatic cell) Meiosis results in 4 haploid cells (sex cells, aka gametes) Jon · 6 years ago
