What else can I help you with?
What must happen before meiosis can begin?
DNA replicates and forms tetrad—APEX.
What happens before meiosis begin?
Interphase. The process of meiosis has many similarities to the process of mitosis: chromosomes replicate before the process begins, and shorten and thicken to look like the chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis (condensation).
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
How many chromosomes does an egg of a human female have before meiosis?
23 chromosomes
How many chromosomes are present in the cell after meiosis II?
After meiosis II, each cell will have a haploid number of chromosomes, which means they will have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell before meiosis.
Why do the chromosomes on hapliod cells that are produced by meiosis 1 look different from those produced by meiosis 2?
Meiosis I should not produce haploid cells. They should be diploid because before meiosis I the diploid cell duplicated its DNA. It is only after Meiosis II that the four cells are haploid.
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division happens in what type of cell division?
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division occurs in meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of sex cells (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Is duplication of paired chromosomes in the first stage of meiosis?
Yes duplication of chromosomes occurs during the first stage of meiosis or during prophase.
What phase of meiosis is when the chromosomes copied?
Interphase before Prophase I.
How many chromosomes would a cell have during metaphase 1 of meiosis if it has 12 chromosomes during interphase?
Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.
What is the first thing chromosomes do in meiosis?
In meiosis, chromosomes replicate during interphase before the start of cell division. This process ensures that each daughter cell will receive the correct number of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a woman's cell have before undergoing meiosis?
A woman's cell has 46 chromosomes before undergoing meiosis, which is the process of cell division that produces egg cells. During meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved to 23 to ensure that when fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote has 46 chromosomes, with half from the mother and half from the father.
