Question
what is produced by meiosis?
a. egg or sperm cells
b. skin cells
c. diploid cells
d. hair cells
Meiosis is a type of cell - division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. It is the process by which gametes (egg and sperm cells) are produced in sexually - reproducing organisms. Skin cells, diploid cells (which have the full set of chromosomes), and hair cells are not produced by meiosis. Skin and hair cells are produced by mitosis, and diploid cells are the starting cells for meiosis, not the end - products.
