Traits are another name for genes. These are located on various areas of chromosomes. During meiosis, the chromosomes which are duplicated, are formed into gametes (ova or sperm). Those two combine into a new individual with entirely different mixture of traits.

What is the law that states that each pair of chromosomes separates on its own in meiosis?

The law that states that each pair of chromosomes separates on its own in meiosis is known as Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment. This principle states that the inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait, as long as they are located on separate chromosomes. As a result, each pair of homologous chromosomes separates independently during meiosis, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.


What happens to chromosomes during meiosis according to mendels law of segregation?

According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.

Are chromosomes single or double in meiosi?

The chromosomes are double (diploid) at the beginning of meiosis. By the end of meiosis I, the chromosomes are single (haploid).


Does meiosis result in the doubling of chromosomes?

No, meiosis does not result in the doubling of chromosomes. Instead, it reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell by half.


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.


How many chromosomes does meiosis produce as the original?

In humans meiosis produces 23 chromosomes. The human body cell has 46 chromosomes When meiosis occurs 1/2 of the body cells go into the haploid cell produced
