Question

which definition correctly describes a haploid cell during meiosis? a cell that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent cell a cell that has two complete sets of chromosomes a cell that has half the number of chromosomes as the daughter cell a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes

Explanation:

A haploid cell contains a single set of chromosomes. During meiosis, the parent cell (diploid) divides to produce haploid cells. A cell with double the number of chromosomes as the parent cell is not haploid. A cell with two complete sets of chromosomes is diploid. A cell having half the number of chromosomes as the daughter cell is incorrect logic as daughter cells are haploid in meiosis and the comparison is wrong - way around. The correct description is a cell with one complete set of chromosomes.

Answer:

a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes
