At the end of meiosis ii, how does the dna in each of the four new cells compare to the dna from the original cell? a) half as much and genetically the same as the original b) twice as much and genetically the same as the original c) half as much and genetically different from the original d) twice as much and genetically different from the original

A

Explanation:

Meiosis results in gametes with one half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

C) half as much and genetically different from the original

Explanation:

Meiosis is referred to as reductional division because it results in the daughter cells having half the number of chromosomes of the parent. Diploid parent cells (2n) give rise to haploid daughter cells (n). Hence, the daughter cells has half as much as the parent cell in comparison.

Also, the process of meiosis involves crossing over of genetic materials between non-homologous chromosomes. This makes daughter cells from meiotic process to be genetically different from the parent cell.

The correct option is C.

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
