Which statement directly describes the cells produced by meiosis

the genetic material of the new cell is diploid

the new cells are exact copies of the original cell

the genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells

the new cells are identical

The statement 'the genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells' describes how cells are produced in meiosis process.

Explanation:

In meiosis a single cell is divided into twice to form four cells and it contains the original half amount of 'genetic information'. In meiosis, the two cells are called daughter cells are produced, and each identical cells to the parent cell meiosis are produced four haploid cells and mitosis are produced two diploid cells.

The meiosis cell division is to reduces the number of 'chromosomes' in the parent cell by its half portion and also they produce four gamete cells. In this process they required to produce 'eggs and sperm' cells for the sexual reproduction. It is the main aim to make a daughter cells with same half so many 'chromosomes' as the starting cell.
