Question

Meiosis can take place in a

• A. Prokaryotic cell
• B. Haploid cell
• C. Dikaryotic cell
• D. Diploid cell

Answer 1

The correct option is D Diploid cell

Meiosis can take place in a diploid cell. In meiosis, division of nucleus twice but replication of DNA only once. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. The two meiotic divisions are known as meiosis I and meiosis II. Before meiosis begins, during S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of each chromosome is replicated so that it consists of two identical sister chromatids attached at a centromere.
