A) halved
B) tripled
C) doubted
D) quadrupled
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The meiosis occurs in two steps meiosis-I and meiosis-II. In meiosis-I. There is segregation of homologous pairs, i.e. paired chromosomes get separated and go to different gametes. So, the number of chromosomes becomes half in the two cells produced in meiosis-I. This is the reason it is called as reduction division. Meiosis-U is simply mitotic division in which two daughter cells produced in meiosis-I under go mitosis, thus produce four haploid daughter cells.You need to login to perform this action.
