Meiosis results in four daughter cells (gametes) which have half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. They are therefore called haploid cells.

∙ 15y agoDuring meiosis, the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells(n) is half the number in the original parent cell(2n) and so the DNA is half. The first step of meiosis(meiosis I) is exactly the same as mitosis. The DNA content is doubled during the interphase. After which the Prophase I, Metaphase I , Anaphase I, and Telophase I follows. The cell does not cleave instead undergoes through the same cycle (meisosis II), ProphaseII metaphaseII anaphaseII and telophase II and then cytokinesis which results in four daughter cells with (n) number of chromosomes.

How do the products of meiosis compare to the original cell think about chromosome number?
No, they have half the number.
How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis compare the the original cell?
The daughter cells are identical to the original cell.
How do the cells in mitosis compare to the original cell?
after mitosis the daughter cells are exactly identical to the original cell
What is the finished product of mitosis?
Mitosis is simply the cloning of the original cell. So the final product of mitosis is just a clone of the original cell.
What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
How do the product's of meiosis compare to the original cell?
Meiosis results in 4 haploid daughter cells with only half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
How do the products of meiosis compare to the original cell think about chromosome number?
No, they have half the number.
Describe the differences between the original cell that undergoes meiosis and the daughter cells produced by meiosis?
The original cell that undergoes meiosis holds the original copy of DNA. The daughter cells receive the replicated DNA strands.
How many of these cells result from one original cell after meiosis?
Four cells result after meiosis.
What is the main difference between meiosis I and meiosis II is that in meiosis II?
four gametes are produced for every original cell
How does a daughter cell compare to the parent cell after undergoing meiosis?
They have 1/2 the genetic material of the parent cell.
What do we call that daughter cell that's the product of meiosis?
a gamete
How many chromosomes made by meiosis?
Half the original cell.
Why does meiosis result in half as many chromosomes as the original cell?
Because in meiosis the chromosomes don't line up
Is meiosis or mitosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original cell?
Meiosis.
When Meiosis is completed the quantity of DNA in each daughter cell nucleus will?
be half that of the original cell.
How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after meiosis occurs?
The new cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
