Which of the following statements is false regarding the process of meiosis?
A) Meiosis produces gametes.
B) Meiosis produces daughter cells with half the original amount of DNA found in the original cell.
C) There are two cell divisions.
D) Meiosis produces daughter cells with the same amount of DNA found in the original cell.
E) Homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis produces daughter cells with half the amount of DNA found in the original cell. This is achieved through two rounds of cell division, with homologous chromosomes pairing up and exchanging genetic information during meiosis I. The end result is four haploid daughter cells, each with half the amount of DNA as the original cell. Therefore, statement D is false.
