Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes. This is so that when sexual reproduction occurs, and the two sex cells from the parents combine, the offspring ends up with the correct number of chromosomes (half from each parent).

2. to allow genetic variation to happen in the offspring, because of mixing genes from 2 individuals at fertilization.

What is the difference between cells created by meiosis and parent cells?
I don't think there is any difference. Cells created by meiosis are sex cells, i guess they're the same as parent cells
Which would result in new cells that are most different from the parent cells?
Meiosis would result in new cells that are different than the parent cell.
How many daughters cells does mitosis and meiosis make?
Mitosis makes 2 diploid daughter cells that are identical to their parent cell, and meiosis makes 4 haploid cells that are each different from their parent cell. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes that regular cells do, because they are sex cells (egg and sperm).
Mitosis is to body cells as meiosis is to?
Germ cells. Somatic cells perform mitosis to get genetically identical daughter cells, and germ cells perform meiosis to get genetically different cells. In gametophytes, it's known as generative cells.
What cells carry information to make new offspring?
the daughters cell marries the father cell which makes a baby cell and they transfer to a different country.
How are the sex cells different from the parents cell?
The sex cells have half the chromosomes that were in the parent cell.
WHAT ARE PARENT CELLS?
sex cells
What are parent cells are known as?
sex cells
When the cells in the male and female parent divide do they form body cells or sex cells?
Sex cells.
What happens when a parent produces reproductive cells?
When a parent produces reproductive cells, sex cells undergo meiosis a process in which these specialized cells duplicate.
What type of cell are haploid?
They are cells that have half the chromosome number of the parent.
Are the cell created from meiosis identical or different from parent cell?
it is different from the parent cells because they split from the parent cells
Chromosome that determine the sex of an individual are called?
Parent Cells
What is the difference between cells created by meiosis and parent cells?
I don't think there is any difference. Cells created by meiosis are sex cells, i guess they're the same as parent cells
How are the products of meiosis and the products of mitosis different?
Mitosis produces two cells indentical to the parent cells. Meiosis produces four sex cells each with half as many chromosomes as the parents
Which would result in new cells that are most different from the parent cells?
Meiosis would result in new cells that are different than the parent cell.
How are sex cells different from other cells?
They have haploid number of chromosomes. They undergo meiosis cell division during their formation.it is the type of cell division in which the chromosome number of the parent is reduced cells to half in the daughter cells.
