Here's the question:

Interkinesis:

Are the daughter cells considered to be diploid or haploid?

What is the status of the DNA in each cell?

If someone can answer these questions and try to explain them I'd appreciate it. I really want to understand this! I must.

  1. Interkinesis happens between Meiosis I and Meiosis II.  The result of this division (meiosis I) is 2 diploid cells.  Now these cells will undergo further division (meiosis II) and produce 4 cells by cytokinesis.  These cells will be haploid and become gametes (s*x cells).


  2. daughter cells of meiosis are haploid, this means that the cells only have one set of the homologus chromosomes (rather than two, what a diploid cell would have- most other cells in your body)

    in meiosis you start with one cell, it duplicates the DNA then divides into two then divides AGAIN, in the second time it divides, it doesn't duplicate the DNA - so the daughter cells only have half the DNA of a regular cell
