All of the Following Occur as a Result of Meiosis

Question

All of the following occur as a result of meiosis except:
A)chromosome number remains at 46.
B)primitive sex cells become mature gametes.
C)the cells become haploid.
D)meiosis occurs in two steps.

Accepted Answer

Meiosis results in a reduction of chromosome number from diploid to haploid, and thus the chromosome number does not remain at 46. Choices B and C are correct, as meiosis produces mature gametes that are haploid. Choice D is incorrect because meiosis actually occurs in two rounds of cell division, leading to the production of four haploid daughter cells.
