The purpose of meiosis is to?
Produce cells that contain the haploid number of chromosomes.
What best describes the purpose of the chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell?
The purpose of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell is to contain genetic information that tells the cell what to do, how to behave etc. Chromosomes also contain the information that determines what you look like; whether you have brown hair, blue eyes etc.
What discovery in the 1900 supported Mendel's ideas?
Chromosomes
Final number of chromosomes in mitosis?
There are going to be half the amount of the original chromosomes that were in each cell to begin with. So therefore there are going to be 4 chromosomes in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis..Actually there will be 2 chromosomes, in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis!
How is Eukaryotic DNA organized?
they are grouped into multiple chromosomes.
What is the purpose of the spindle?
To pull chromosomes apart.
What is the purpose Walter sutton studying chromosomes?

One purpose of meiosis is to keep the number of these constant in generation after generation of zygotes?

What is the purpose of spindle fibers during mitosis?
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
What is a function of chromosomes?
A chromosome is transferred from parent to offspring and its purpose is to transport genetic material to the cell of the offspring

What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
