Meiosis is a life process associated with sexual reproduction which choice correctly summarizes meiosis into one statement?
SC 912. L. 16.17
O Haploid cells join and produce diploid daughter cells
Chromosomes in a haploid cell are pulled apart, creating two haploid daughter cells
Chromosomes in a diploid cell uncoil and line up, creating two diploid daughter cells.
O Homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell separate and produce four haploid daughter cells

Homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell separate and produce four haploid daughter cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process in sexual reproduction in which one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells.

Meiosis is a cell division of germ cells that produces sperm or egg cells in male and female respectively. Meiosis undergoes two stages of cell division and finally produces four daughters cells. Each daughter cell in meiosis is haploid and not diploid as it carry half of the chromosomes of its parent chromosomes. Thus, diploid cell separate into 4 haploid daughters in meiosis.

So, the correct choice to summarize meiosis is "Homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell separate and produce four haploid daughter cells".

the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including dna and rna. this backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
