34. A parent cell with 24 chromosomes enters meiosis. Which type of cell is produced when meiosis is completed?
А) a cell with 24 chromosomes, genetically identical to the parent cell
(В) a cell with 24 chromosomes, but not genetically identical to the parent cell
a cell with 12 chromosomes, and one chromosome is donated from each
homologous pair of the parent cell
0 a cell with 12 chromosomes, and 6 homologous pairs of chromosomes are donated
from each parent cell

a cell with 12 chromosomes, and one chromosome is donated from each

homologous pair of the parent cell

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the two types of cell division that involves sexual reproduction. Meiosis is the division that involves the production of four daughter cells (gametes) with each having its chromosomal number reduced by half. Meiosis is called "reduction division" because it reduces the chromosome number of the parent cell.

In this question, a parent cell with 24 chromosomes is said to enter meiosis. This means that after the meiotic division, daughter cells with 12 chromosomes will be produced in such a way that one of each homologous pair of chromosome (chromosomes from male and female parent) is donated to each gamete.

i think it is dna, i'm not totally sure but i think it might be.

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
