Which of the following statements is true? a. the daughter cells formed during mitosis are genetically similar to, though not identical to, their parent cell. b. the process of meiosis forms daughter cells which are genetically identical to their parent cells. c. during the process of meiosis, haploid cells are formed. after fertilization, the diploid number of chromosomes is restored. d. mitosis results in the formation of two haploid gametes which can then combine to form a diploid daughter cell.

Option C  

Explanation:  

During the process of meiosis haploid cells are formed. It is a different type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.

This creates four haploid cells each of them is genetically distinct from the parent cell from which they originated.

When fertilization takes place the male and female gametes combine in order to produce a diploid body and the chromosome number is hence restored.

answer: c. two haploid cells

explanation:

true is the final answer!
