Question

How many meiosis stages are necessary for the formation of $28$ cells from $1$ cell?

• A. $7$
• B. $14$
• C. $28$
• D. $64$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $7$

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them. This process occurs in all sexually reproducing single-celled and multicellular eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. For formation of 28 cells from 1 cell, the cell has to undergo 7 meiotic stages.

So the correct option is '7'.
