Question

The function of meiosis is to produce gametes: eggs or sperm. During meiosis, a diploid (2N) mother cell undergoes two meiotic divisions to produce four haploid (N) daughter cells. Chromosome number is restored to 2N during fertilization. Consider the abbreviated model of meiosis. In this example, an error has taken place. Describe and name this error.

Answer 1

The error is that four haploid daughter cells are made so it needs to be 4N, because there should be 4 instead of 2
