Solution
The correct option is C (i) a dyad of cells; (ii) four haploid cells
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms which reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of haploid daughter cells. The ploidy of the cells at the end of meiosis I and meiosis II is given in the image below.
During anaphase I of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes get segregated and at telophase I (end of meiosis I) they get divided into two daughter cells, which are known as a dyad of cells (both cells are haploid).
During anaphase II of meiosis II, the sister chromatids get separated and at the end of telophase II (end of meiosis II) four haploid cells are formed.
