Step 1
The difference between haploid and diploid cells is the number of sets of chromosomes they contain. Haploid cells have one complete set of chromosomes, while diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. In general, somatic cells (body cells) are diploid, Show more…

What is the final product of meiosis? - 4 haploid cells - 4 diploid cells - 2 haploid cells - 2 diploid cells 2. Which of the following processes occurs during meiosis II? - the formation of haploid cells - the formation of tetrads - the formation of secondary spermatocytes - the formation of diploid cells 3.

1. A diploid organism produces four gametes from one parent cell through the process of meiosis. Two gametes are found to have 5 chromosomes, one gamete is found to have 6 chromosomes and one gamete is found to have 4 chromosomes. A) Is this the expected number of chromosomes that would be found in each gamete following a normal cycle of meiosis? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not and describe how the gamete situation described above occurred. B) Determine the number of homologous chromosome pairs that the original parent cell contained, before meiosis began. Explain how you determined this value.
