C Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
D Meiosis produces 7 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Answer 1

The correct response regarding the cells produced in meiosis is:

C: Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Meiosis results in four non-identical daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original diploid cell, which is crucial for sexual reproduction.
