So the question asks, what are the end -stage products of meiosis as it applies in animal cells? and how many of these products are there usually? so the question also lists options that are haploid or diploid.
00:19
And just recall that haploid means the cell contains one set of chromosomes.
00:29
And diploid means the cell contains two, sets of chromosomes.
00:37
And i just kind of briefly illustrated that here.
00:41
The cell on the left, you can see, is haploid, and it contains two non -homologous chromosomes.
00:48
And this cell on the right contains, so it's diploid, and it contains two homologous pairs.
00:59
This is one homologous pair, this is the other homologous pair of chromosomes.
01:06
And recall that meiosis is a type of cell division which produces haploid daughter cells from diploid cells.
01:12
And this is done via one round of chromosome replication, followed by two rounds of division.
01:21
So say that this diploid organism we have here undergoes meiosis...
