Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis produces haploid cells, meaning cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. It is involved in the formation of gametes (sex cells) in animals, which are haploid. Option B is incorrect because meiosis reduces the chromosome number, so the resulting cells cannot be diploid. Option C is incorrect because meiosis produces haploid cells in plants as well. Option D is incorrect because diploid unicellular organisms are not formed by meiosis, which is a process primarily involved in sexual reproduction.
