Question

Responses

The production of four genetically identical daughter cells
The production of four genetically identical daughter cells

The production of four genetically diverse daughter cells
The production of four genetically diverse daughter cells

The production of haploid cells
The production of haploid cells

The production of diploid cells

Answer 1

The true statements about the results of meiosis are:

1. The production of four genetically diverse daughter cells - This is true because meiosis includes processes such as crossing over and independent assortment, which increase genetic diversity among the daughter cells.

2. The production of haploid cells - This is also true because meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in haploid cells (gametes).

The following statements are not true:

• The production of four genetically identical daughter cells - This is false; the daughter cells produced in meiosis are genetically diverse, not identical.

• The production of diploid cells - This is false; meiosis results in haploid cells, not diploid cells.

So, the correct selections are:

• The production of four genetically diverse daughter cells
• The production of haploid cells
