Assertion:The last stage of meiosis, during which one parent cell divides into two daughter cells, is called Cytokinesis.
Reason: Homologous pairs of chromosomes will segregate, separate, and move into the four daughter cells during this stage, dividing the total number of chromosomes in half.
Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
Both Assertion and Reason are false statements.
Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
The first stage of meiosis, during which one parent cell divides into two daughter cells, is referred to as meiosis 1.
Homologous pairs of chromosomes will segregate, separate, and move into the two daughter cells during this stage, dividing the total number of chromosomes in half. An egg or sperm cell typically has 23 chromosomes. These 23 chromosomes duplicate during interphase, resulting in a total of 46 identical chromosomes that are linked together by a structure known as a centromere.
Option 4 is the correct answer.
