Meiosis produces how many daughter cells?

Answer: 4.

  • A 1
  • B 2
  • C 4
  • D 8

Correct answer: C. 4

Explanation: Meiosis produces 4 haploid daughter cells (each with half the chromosome number of the parent).

The Cell CycleG1SG2M (Mitosis)G1+S+G2 = Interphase (the longest part of the cycle, where the cell spends most of its time)

The cell cycle: G1 (growth and preparation), S (DNA replication, chromosome number stays 2n but DNA content doubles), G2 (final checks before division), and M (mitosis itself) - together, G1+S+G2 make up interphase.

Concept context

Mitosis and meiosis: how cells divide for growth, repair, and reproduction.
