Answer:

Option C: Each granddaughter cell is haploid (n)

Explanation:

A diploid cell is a cell that contains two full sets of chromosomes. Meiosis is a process whereby the the original diploid cell produces 4 cells. These cells contain half of the genetic information that the diploid cell that underwent division contained. These cells that contain half of the chromosome types are referred to as haploids. These haploids have just one complete set of chromosomes whereas the diploid (as the name suggests) has two full sets. Examples of haploids are the reproductive, or sperm, cells that humans have. So essentially, haploids are the reproductive cells that are produced by meiosis.

Now, meiosis divides the cell by 4 whereas, through mitosis however, each cell splits into two. These two cells that were produced are completely identical to each other which means that they have the same number of chromosomes and are, therefore, haploids themselves as well.

The tree includes the most recent common ancestor of all living species of bears (branch point 1). what does this tell you about
inessss [21]
If we take a look at the phylogenetic tree of bears presented in the picture above, we can see that the branch number one is the common ancestor to all living bear species, which means that the whole group has a uniform origin. and the phylogenetic tree has a root.
Therefore, the group is monophyletic, not <span>polyphyletic ( meaning that the whole group has the same origin) and not paraphyletic ( there is no group that has been excluded from the tree).</span>
