Question

What statement best explains why meiosis produces haploid cell rather than diploid cells

Answer 1

The right answer is Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.

Meiosis makes it possible to pass from a cell to 2n chromosomes to 4 cells with n chromosomes, thus ensuring the passage from the diploid phase to the haploid phase.

So from the  fertilization phase to the meiosis phase, the cells will be diploid (2n chromosomes). From the meiosis phase to the fertilization phase, it is the haploid phase (n chromosome).

Answer 2

I believe these are the followings:
Haploid cells join to form an organism that has half the number of chromosomes as the parent
Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.
Haploid cells join to form an organism that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent.
Haploid cells join to form an organism that is genetically identical to the parent.


Therefore the second one is the statement that best explains why meiosis produces Haploid cells rather than Diploid cells

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.
