Select all that applySelect all of the following that are true about meiosis.Multiple select question.includes two cell divisionscreates four haploid cells from one diploid cellcreates four genetically identical gametesdoubles the genetic information in the resulting gamete cells producedproduces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as compared to somatic cells
Solution
The correct answers are:
- Includes two cell divisions
- Creates four haploid cells from one diploid cell
- Produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as compared to somatic cells
The statement "creates four genetically identical gametes" is not true because meiosis leads to genetic variation due to crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes.
The statement "doubles the genetic information in the resulting gamete cells produced" is also not true. In fact, meiosis reduces the genetic information by half in the resulting gamete cells.
