Question

What is produced by the process of meiosis?

Answer 1

Answer:

Four haploid daughter cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division, which takes place in sex cells (or gamete forming cells) during gametogenesis. It leads to formation of four daughter cells from a single parent cell, having half of the genetic material as present in parent cell.

For example, one mother egg cell (having 46 chromosomes) produces four egg cells (having 23 chromosomes) through meiotic division.

Thus, the correct answer is 'four haploid daughter cells.'

Answer 2

Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces eggs and sperm for sexual reproduction. <span />
