SSC MTS 13th July 2022 Shift-3

- When a cell divides by meiosis, it produces 4 new cells.

- Meiosis involves two consecutive divisions, so one parent cell splits into four daughter cells.

- These cells are called gametes (sperm or egg cells in animals), and each has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

- Option 1: 4 (Correct. Four cells are produced.)

- Option 2: 2 (Wrong. Mitosis produces two cells, not meiosis.)

- Option 3: 3 (Incorrect, meiosis does not produce three cells.)

- Option 4: 5 (Also incorrect, five cells are not formed in meiosis.)
