Answer 1

The correct response is:

Phase I results in two haploid daughter cells and phase II results in four haploid daughter cells.

In meiosis, Phase I (Meiosis I) includes the separation of homologous chromosomes, leading to two haploid daughter cells. Phase II (Meiosis II) involves the separation of sister chromatids in those daughter cells, resulting in a total of four haploid daughter cells.
