**Text:** Several cells like the one represented below undergo a normal meiosis I and meiosis II, so that each cell produces four daughter cells. One or more of these daughter cells are shown below. Which of the cells could be a daughter cell? **Description of Diagrams:** The diagram shows the process of meiosis that results in the formation of four daughter cells from a single parent cell. The parent cell and the potential daughter cells are depicted in separate circular panels. Each cell is depicted with chromosomes that are either in paired or single forms. - The original cell is shown with two pairs of homologous chromosomes. **Options A, B, C, D:** - **A:** Two separated chromosomes, each with two sister chromatids. These appear to be a valid result of meiosis, indicating genetic diversity through homologous recombination. - **B:** Two separated chromosomes without sister chromatids, likely representing an incomplete meiosis or an incorrect daughter cell due to missing chromatids. - **C:** Two chromosomes, each still paired with a chromatid, possibly indicating a step in the process before complete separation. - **D:** A single chromosome with two chromatids, suggesting this might be a product of a cell division error or an incomplete meiosis process. The task is to determine which of these cells (A, B, C, D) could legitimately be a daughter cell following normal meiosis.
