Which statement is true about meiosis?

A) Meiosis is a process that duplicates and divides the nuclear contents only.

B) Meiosis produces two daughter cells that contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

C) Meiosis produces two daughter cells that contain the same kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell.

D) Meiosis uses a 2n parent cell to form daughter cells containing n chromosome

Respuesta :

The answer is D. "Meiosis uses a 2n parent cell to form daughter cells containing n chromosome."

B and C are not correct because meiosis produces 4 daughter cells and not 2. D is correct because meiosis produces haploid daughter cells (n), which means that it would be formed with a diploid parent cell (2n).

I hope this was helpful.
