The answer is the first one: The new cells have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The new cells have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell.

    • This is correct. At the end of telophase I in meiosis, the cells are haploid, meaning they have one set of chromosomes, which is half the genetic information of the original diploid cell.

  2. The new cells have one copy of all of the genetic information in the original cell.

    • This is incorrect. The new cells are haploid and only contain half of the genetic information, not all of it.

  3. The new cells have two copies of half of the genetic information in the original cell.

    • This is incorrect. The cells at the end of telophase I are haploid and have only one copy of each chromosome, not two.

  4. The new cells have two copies of all of the genetic information in the original cell.

    • This is incorrect. The cells at the end of telophase I are haploid and do not have two copies of all the genetic information.

Summary: The correct statement is that the new cells have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell.
