During which stage of meiosis does the diploid parent cell become four separate haploid cells?
A
Anaphase II
B
Telophase I
C
Prophase II
D
Telophase II
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four haploid cells from one diploid parent cell.
Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each with duplicated chromosomes.
In Meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four haploid cells.
Recognize that Telophase II is the stage where the final separation occurs, leading to the formation of four distinct haploid cells.
