Question

Which one of these statements is true about haploid cells, diploid cells, and meiosis? o a. In haploid cells, condensed chromosomes have an T' shape, while in diploid cells they have an "X" shape. b. The process of meiosis is identical in haploid and diploid cells. o c. Following DNA replication, haploid cells become diploid cells. od. In diploid cells, meiosis I results in the formation of two haploid cells. e. Meiosis is a simpler process when it occurs in haploid cells, since there are unpaired chromosomes.

Explanation / Answer

The correct option is In diploid cells, meiosis I results in the formation of two haploid cells.

In the process of meiosis I diploid (2n) organisms produce two haploid cells. Meiosis I is also known as reductional division. Meiosis I segregates homologous chromosomes, which are joined as tetrads and produces two haploid cells. Each contains chromatid pairs, because the ploidy is reduced from diploid to haploid.
