Solution

The correct option is B (B)
Meiosis 2 is similar to mitosis because it separates the chromosomes to have sister chromatids in each cell. In both process separation of the chromosome and dividing the cell to make 2 cells out of 1.Meiosis cannot occur in haploid cells. A haploid organism (n) produces gametes (n) by mitotic division. These gametes (n) are then fused by fertilization to produce a zygote which is diploid. This zygote or diploid cell then undergoes meiotic division to again produce a haploid organism (n).
So, the correct option is 'B'.
