  • Meiosis and the 'n' Value: Understanding Haploid Cells
    Meiosis results in the production of 4 daughter cells.

    Here's why:

    * Meiosis I: A single diploid cell (with 2n chromosomes) divides into two haploid cells (with n chromosomes).

    * Meiosis II: Each of these haploid cells then divides again, producing a total of four haploid cells.

    Therefore, the n value for the cells produced by meiosis is n, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
