Meiosis II is Essentially the Same as Mitosis Except That

Question

Meiosis II is essentially the same as mitosis except that the outcome produces cells that are:
A) diploid.
B) somatic.
C) autosomal.
D) genetically identical to each other.
E) haploid.

Accepted Answer

Meiosis II produces haploid cells, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is important in sexual reproduction, as it allows for the fusion of two haploid cells (sperm and egg) to form a diploid zygote.
