After Telophase I of Meiosis, the Chromosomal Makeup of Each

Question

After telophase I of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell is
A) diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid.
B) diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.
C) haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid.
D) haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.
E) tetraploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.

Accepted Answer

After telophase I of meiosis, each daughter cell is haploid, meaning it contains one complete set of chromosomes. However, each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids, hence the correct answer is that the chromosomal makeup is haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.
