Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and produces gametes. Here are the responses that apply to what meiosis can produce:
-
Sperm: Yes, meiosis produces sperm in males.
-
Egg: Yes, meiosis produces eggs in females.
-
Haploid cells: Yes, meiosis produces haploid cells (sperm and egg), which contain half the number of chromosomes.
The following are not produced by meiosis:
-
Diploid cells: No, meiosis produces haploid cells, not diploid cells.
-
Somatic cells: No, somatic cells are produced by mitosis, not meiosis.
So the correct answers are:
- Sperm
- Egg
- Haploid cells
