Telophase II and Formation of Haploid Cells — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptTelophase II: Meiosis ends with telophase II, in which the two groups of chromosomes once again get enclosed by a nuclear envelope; cytokinesis follows resulting in the formation of tetrad of cells i.e., four haploid daughter cells.
Assertion (A): Telophase II results in the formation of four haploid daughter cells. Reason (R): Cytokinesis after telophase II produces a dyad of cells.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
NCERT states “cytokinesis follows resulting in the formation of tetrad of cells i.e., four haploid daughter cells” confirming Assertion is true. However, NCERT uses “tetrad of cells” for four cells and “dyad of cells” for two cells (after meiosis I). The Reason incorrectly uses dyad (two cells) instead of tetrad (four cells).
