What does meiosis go through the phases twice?
it acually goes through 32 stages but they all do with anal drying and you will get super sick of nasty pale things
Meiosis aids in evolution because it does what?
Meiosis is when the male gene and the female gene combine chromosomes to make a child or offspring. This increases the diversity of genes in an individual, and allows that diversity to spread through the population, thus effecting evolution.
How is genetic material passed from parent to offspring in meiosis?
Meiosis is a form of cell division which is used in sexual reproduction. In other words, it is the process of making sperm/egg cells in genetic material. There is "meiosis I" which separates the homologues and then there is "meiosis II" which separates the sister chromatids. In meiosis I there are four stages to the division process: Prophase (which is where the homologue chromosomes start to condense), Metaphase (which is where the chromosomes begin to align in the center of the cell), Anaphanse (which is the when the chromasomes start to separate in half) and Telophase (where the resulting chromosomes begin to break off into two separate cells). Meiosis II has a very similar process which ultimately divides the two newly separated cells into a total of four cells (all with their own variation of genetic material). Be sure not to confuse this process with "mitosis", which is the cell division and production process that occurs in asexual reproduction.
What organism uses meiosis to reproduce?
Plants can use meiosis to reproduce. If you take a root from a friends plant and plant it, it will grow and be exactly like your friends. The plant will be identical because they will have exactly the same cell type.
What are the daughter cells?
When a cell divides it produces two new cells, Daughter Cells. These are identicle to the parent cell in every way exept size (Nb not true for the first divisions of cell that will become a multicellular organism). To separate, the parent cell must replicate all its DNA so that both the daughters have a full Genetic Code. The DNA is stored within a nucleus (in Eukaryotes, not bacteria etc) and just before the cell splits there are two nuclei in it. These nuclei move through the cytoplasm to the most separate points in the cell, stretching the cell out into a an oval shape. Once this has happend this has happend the middle of the cell shrinks until the two sides meat. Think of it like having a long sausage shaped balloon with a peice of string looped around it. If you pull the string tighter the balloon shrkins in the middle. When the two sides of the parent cell meat they Fuse forming the two new daughter cells.
What will happens when a cell divides?
It depends on the type of cell. If it is a tissue cell, then it will divide into two daughter cells through the process of mitosis. If it is a sex cell, a gamete, it will divide into four daughter cells by meiosis.
Why does the cell divide this many times in meiosis?
Meiosis divides twice since it is trying to duplicate the cells to create two new daughter cells for the creation process in species. It is the opposite of mitosis.
What type of cell division is characterized by genetic recombination of daughter cells?
Meiosis is the process through which a cell divides into four haploid daughter cells. It utilizes random assortment, crossing over, and Random fertilization to create genetic variation.
What are the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.
What are gamets formed through?
Gametes are sex cells, formed through the process meiosis in which a cell divides to have half of the normal amount of DNA.
What is the method by which a cells cytoplasm divides?
In animal cells, the cytoplasm divides by cytokinesis. This is when the cleavage furrow is made which pinches the large cell in the middle. This continues until it goes all the way through and two daughter cells are present.
In which phase of mitosis does cytokinesis take place?
Telophase: Cytokinesis occurs during meiosis and mitosis and is the stage at which the cytoplasm and surface membrane of the two cells divides, and the cells are distinguishable as separate.As a stage of the cell cycle, cytokinesis occurs at the end of mitosis/meiosis, and as a phase of mitosis/meiosis, it is itself a phase.
How many cell divisions are in meiosis?
There are two parts to meiosis; a meiosis I and a meiosis II. Meiosis I: Interphase Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Cytokenisis I Meiosis II: *THERE IS NO INTERPHASE II!!* Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Cytokenisis II
Why does meiosis require two cellular divisions?
Meiosis is divided into Meiosis I and Meiosis II because the initial cell divides twice producing four genetically different sex cells (gametes) Each time a cell divides, it goes through Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. See the link below for a diagram showing the process.
What is the product of a single cell that has gone through meiosis?
There are 4 haploid daughter cells resulting from each meiotic process (single parent cell to daughter cells).
If a organisms has 500 chromosomes how many will be present in each cell through process meiosis?
250 would be the 1N number after meiosis.
When a body cell divides through the process of mitosis what is the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells?
After mitosis each daughter cell contains 46 chromosomes as the DNA replicates itself before the cell divides
