Multiple Choice

At the end of telophase II and cytokinesis in meiosis, how many daughter cells are produced from a single original cell?

Verified step by step guidance

Recall that meiosis consists of two rounds of cell division: meiosis I and meiosis II, starting from one original diploid cell.

During meiosis I, the original cell divides into two daughter cells, each with half the chromosome number (haploid).

Each of these two cells then undergoes meiosis II, which separates the sister chromatids, resulting in a total of four cells.

At the end of telophase II and cytokinesis, these four cells are distinct daughter cells, each haploid and genetically unique.

Therefore, the number of daughter cells produced from a single original cell at the end of meiosis II is four.
