Of the options, which stage of meiosis would a cell have the haploid number for a given species?

Of the options, which stage of meiosis would a cell have the haploid number for a given species? S phase prophase I prophase II metaphase I

Solution

At the end of Meiosis I, the cells divides into two haploid cells (n); although the DNA present in each divided cell remains equivalent to two cells i.e. (2c). In simple words, you can say that, at the end of Meiosis I one cell divides into two. Suppose we are talking about human cell. Out of the two, one cell has 46 paternal chromosomes and the other has 46 maternal chromosomes.

So, all cells entering Meiosis II are haploid. Therefore, among the given options, option 3 (Prophase II) is the correct answer.
