The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Find the true statement," we will analyze the provided statements one by one to determine which one is true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Meocyte**: - A meocyte (or meiocyte) is a cell that undergoes meiosis. It can be either haploid (n) or diploid (2n). - **Evaluation**: This statement is true since meocytes can exist in both forms depending on the organism and the stage of development. 2. **Microspore Mother Cell (MMC)**: - The Microspore Mother Cell is also referred to as a meocyte. It is involved in the formation of microspores through meiosis. - **Evaluation**: This statement is also true as MMC is indeed a type of meocyte. 3. **Meiosis and DNA Replication**: - The statement claims that meiosis includes two rounds of DNA replication. - **Evaluation**: This statement is false. Meiosis consists of one round of DNA replication during the S phase of interphase, followed by two rounds of cell division (meiosis I and meiosis II). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since statements 1 and 2 are true, and statement 3 is false, the correct answer is that both statements about meocytes and MMC are true, but the statement about DNA replication in meiosis is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The true statements are: 1. Meocytes can be n or 2n. 2. The Microspore Mother Cell (MMC) is also called a meocyte.
