Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of gametes or spores.
Meiosis consists of two sequential stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each stage has distinct phases that contribute to the reduction of chromosome number.
In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two cells. Each of these cells is haploid because they contain half the original number of chromosomes.
Meiosis II resembles mitosis, where the sister chromatids are separated. This results in four haploid cells, each with a single set of chromosomes.
Review the options given in the problem and identify the correct statement based on the understanding that Meiosis I results in two haploid cells and Meiosis II results in four haploid cells.
