Unequal vs Equal Meiotic Cell Division — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptFind examples where the four daughter cells from meiosis are equal in size and where they are found unequal in size.
Assertion (A): Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces chromosome number. Reason (R): Meiosis results in the production of diploid daughter cells.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
NCERT states “This specialised kind of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half” confirming Assertion is true. However, NCERT explicitly states this “results in the production of haploid daughter cells.” The Reason falsely claims diploid daughter cells - this creates confusion with mitosis which produces diploid cells.
