Meiosis in simple terms is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg) fuse together to produce a fertilised egg. Haploid is a word that refers to how many chromosomes a certain cell has. In this case the gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number a normal cell has. A normal cell has a diploid number of chromosomes. So in meiosis the two gametes come together with their hapoid number of chromosomes each to create an egg that has a diploid (standard) number of chromosomes.

∙ 12y agoDuring meiosis the members of a pair of alleles segregate in different gametes. Each gamete contains a haploid number of chromosomes (a single set of chromosomes) and as result - a single allele for each gene.

What is the difference between haploid diploid and zygote?
There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.
How is mitosis and me meiosis different?
Mitosis:is the process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cellsGoes through one stageMeiosis:is the process by which a diploid (2n) cell forms gametes (n)Goes through two stages:Stage 1:Late Interphase/ early prophase 1Late prophase 1Metaphase 1Anaphase 1Telophase 1end of meosis1 results in two haploid cellsStage 2:Prophase 2Metaphase 2Anaphase 2Telophase 2End of meiosis 2 results in four haploid cells (gametes) each with no duplicate chromosomes
Distinguish between mitosis and meiosis?
they both involve the reproducing of cells
What process does meiosis contribute to?
Meiosis is a form of cell division related to the germinal cells. After meiosis, four daughter cells are formed with haploid (half number) of chromosomes. This form of cell division occurs only in the reproductive cells viz, sperms. Other parts of the body, also called the somatic cells (body cells) exhibit mitosis.
Difference between miosis and mitosis?
MITOSIS is the complicated process of chromosome seperation MIOSIS is the copying process that creates cells with half the usual number of chromozomes Mitosis is the process of cell division in somatic cells to make 2 identical diploid cells. ItMeiosis is a process of cell division that creates 4 haploid cells that are not completely identical. Meiosis creates sex cells or gametes. The question should be rephrased so the spelling is correct. I believe the question should read, what is the difference between MEIosis and Mitosis? I can understand the spelling mistake but in medical language everything is about spelling correctly. The original question is asking "what is the difference between constriction of the pupil of the eye"(which occurs in bright settings,miosis), and "what is cell division that creates 2 identical diploid cells" (for example occurs whenever you produce new skin cells, mitosis). These are not related therefore there should not be a question of what the difference is. I will answer what meiosis is which is related to mitosis. Meisos is cell division that creates 4 haploid cells that are not identical, two from the father two from the mother. These are sex cells for reproduction. This is due to allowing genetic make up of these cells to be diverse creating a mixture of DNA from both parents. This is also why siblings are not identical unless they are identical twins.

What step of meiosis is mitosis most closely related to?
All steps of meiosis II are similar to the steps of Mitosis
How are haploid and diploid related?
Haploid refers to having only one set of chromosomes, while diploid refers to having two sets of chromosomes. Body cells are diploid, while sex cells are haploid. In humans, diploid cells have two sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46, and haploid cells have one set of 23 chromosomes.

How is meiosis related to genes?
Meiosis allows a cell to form into 4 cells (by meiosis 1 (which is literally mitosis) and meiosis 2 (mitosis without DNA replication)) in meiosis 1, the cells exchanges DNA information between homologous pairs, this allows genes to be transferred and creates 4 unique and distinct cells. segragation of alleles occur too.
How many chromosomes does a pigeon have?
Okay, so a pigeon has 80 chromosomes when its cells are in the diploid stage. In the haploid stage the cells have 40 chromosomes.
Cell organelle responsible for reproduction?
There isn't an organelle that is responsible for cellular reproduction. Instead, cells go through phases of Mitosis (somatic cells) and Meiosis (gametes), during which the DNA duplicates itself and the nucleus divides to create two diploid cells (Mitosis) or four haploid cells (Meiosis). Haploid cells, also known as gametes, are responsible for sexual reproduction. Gametes include sperm (male) and egg (female).
How are homologous chromosomes diploid related?

Why does meiosis occur only in cells in the reproductive structures of the organism?
Meiosis is also called reduction division, because the result of meiosis is the production of cells with half the chromosome number of the parent cell (ie haploid cells). This is necessary so that when two gametes fuse during fertilization, the normal chromosome number is restored (ie a diploid cell).If the chromosome number was not halved during gamete (germ cell) formation, the number would be doubled every time fertilization happened.Somatic (body) cells do not undergo meiosis because the products of their division will not take part in fertilization. They divide by mitosis, which produces daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parental cell. Mitosis occurs during growth, replacing damaged cells and asexual reproduction.See Related links
