How many haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis II?
Options
- AOne
- BTwo
- CThree
- DFour
Correct answer
D. Four
Step-by-step solution
This leads to the formation of haploid gametes. The key features of meiosis are as follows: Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication. Meiosis I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase. Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Four haploid cells are formed at
