Meiosis results in four daughter cells (gametes) which have half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. They are therefore called haploid cells.
During 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.
It produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the original cells
-APEX
The cell is slplit into two, and is divided by cytokinesis.
No, they have half the number.
The daughter cells are identical to the original cell.
after mitosis the daughter cells are exactly identical to the original cell
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
Mitosis is simply the cloning of the original cell. So the final product of mitosis is just a clone of the original cell.
Meiosis results in 4 haploid daughter cells with only half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
No, they have half the number.
The original cell that undergoes meiosis holds the original copy of DNA. The daughter cells receive the replicated DNA strands.
Four cells result after meiosis.
four gametes are produced for every original cell
They have 1/2 the genetic material of the parent cell.
a gamete
Half the original cell.
Because in meiosis the chromosomes don't line up
Meiosis.
be half that of the original cell.
The new cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
