A haploid set of chromosomes in a cell is found during what phase?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific phase or condition in which a haploid set of chromosomes can be observed in a cell. This likely relates to the process of meiosis or gamete formation.
Answer
Telophase II.
The final answer is Telophase II.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Telophase II.
More Information
A haploid set of chromosomes is found in a cell during telophase II of meiosis. At this stage, the chromosome number is reduced by half from diploid to haploid, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the phases of meiosis where haploid cells are produced with phases where the reduction actually occurs. Cells become haploid only after meiosis I completion. Haploid cells are fully evident in phases like prophase II, metaphase II, and telophase II.
