Meiosis results in four haploid gametes from a single diploid cell. Which sequence of options places Meiosis last?
Correct Answer:
Meiosis
Explanation:
Meiosis is the final step in a sequence that ends with forming haploid gametes. It specifically reduces chromosome number and yields four haploid cells, which is why it sits at the end of the process for producing gametes from a diploid cell. Binary fission is how many bacteria reproduce and doesn’t produce haploid gametes. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm that follows mitosis to create two cells, and mitosis is the division that separates replicated chromosomes into two nuclei before that cytoplasm splits. So meiosis is the last step in this sequence because it completes the production of haploid gametes.
