I there is only one diploid cell. During prophase II there are two
haploid cells.

Gross Domestic Product
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/16
You’ve been watching the financial news and you’ve heard that
the U.S. reports its GDP has risen in the fourth quarter. You have
some vague idea that this means something about the economy but
aren’t quite sure what it is. So what is the GDP? GDP is an acronym
that stands for Gross Domestic Product. It is a figure that
represents the monetary value of all end-use goods and services
produced within a country for a period of time. End-use is a term
that means the final product – a company’s sales of car parts it
manufactures to Ford wouldn’t be included, but the sale of the end
product, the car, is part of the calculation. So when you hear that
the GDP is up for the fourth quarter that simply means that more
goods or services were produced in this period. It is generally
used as a way to take the pulse of the overall economy as a whole.
It is calculated using the following formula: GDP = C + I + G +
(X-M) Where: C = Consumption Stuff we buy. These are sometimes
reported as sub-categories: durable goods, non-durable goods, and
services. I = Investment No, this isn’t your 401(k). It is the
total of business investment, i.e. when IBM builds a new plant or
the Apple store adds to its inventory. It also includes the
purchase of new-construction homes by private households. G =
Government spending Everything from the building of the interstate
highways to the purchase of M1A2 Abrams tanks that the government
spends. These figures do not include so-called transfer payments
such as social security or veterans’ benefits. (X-M) = Total
Exports less Total Imports (aka Net Exports) Self-explanatory. GDP
is often used to measure a country’s economic health. When it is
taken into context with the population of the country it is known
as GDP per capita. GDP per capita is calculated as GDP /
population, and is often used as an informal gauge of standard of
living within a country.
