Mitosis and Meiosis

When there are two sets of chromosomes the cell is said to be?

• Haploid

• Diploid

• Somatic cell

• Gametes

The purpose of meiosis is to produce

• Diploid sex cells that can combine to form zygotes.

• Body cells with half the number of chromosomes as their parents.

• Haploid sex cells that can combine to form zygotes.

• Body cells with the same number of chromosomes as their parents.
