Answer :
In sperm cells, four haploid gametes are produced. In egg cells, meiosis results in a single haploidgamete, with the remainder of the genetic material lost in the formation of three nonviable polar bodies.
5. Gamete cells = sex cells. Meiosis involves sexual reproduction.
6. Haploid cells are cells that have HALF the amount of chromosomes as the original cell. In meiosis, the original cell first doubles in chromosomes, splits into two cells, and then those two cells split into four cells. Therefore, your end result will be haploid daughter cells.
7. It is actually not in any phase of meiosis. Cells get doubled in a process called interphase--this happens BEFORE meiosis to prep for cell division. It then splits into two cells, and those two cells each have the number of chromosomes that the original cell had before it duplicated.
8. Cells divide TWICE. It goes through interphase first before meiosis, then goes through Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. It splits into two cells during cytokinesis. THEN, it splits AGAIN in Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2, and finally Cytokinesis 2. So it results in 4 cells altogether.
9. Same as question 5.
Hope this helped some! :)
