Meiosis is a form of cell division which occurs in the gonads (sex organs). The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that meiosis involves two divisions and results in 4 'daughter cells' whereas mitosis only involves one division and results in two 'daughter cells' Meiosis is important as it produces cells for reproduction (gametes), and the number of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells is half the number of the original cell so that when fertilization occurs, the normal number of chromosomes is restored.
The cells produced are sex cells therefore meoisis takes place in the sex organs. In the male it takes place in the testies and the female's ovaries.
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive organs. (males-testies, females-ovaries)
Meiosis occurs in the testes, in men, and in the ovaries, in women.
Meiosis occurs in cells
Testis
Gametes.
In which structure or organ does meiosis formation of male gametes and or female gametes occur in plants male and females
Meiosis occurs in the sporophyte.
waht changes in the chromosomes occur during meiosis
DNA is copied.
Sure?
Meiosis is a special type of cell division that occurs only within the ovaries and testes.
In which structure or organ does meiosis formation of male gametes and or female gametes occur in plants male and females
Meiosis produces sex cells, so it occurs in the reproductive organs, primary the ovary in females and the testes in males.
when does the duplication of chromosomes occur?
Remember that meiosis ONLY occurs in the sex organs (gonads). In segmented worms, meiosis occurs in the cocoon they excrete after intercourse with another hermaphroditic worm. However, ALL the other cells in the annelid undergo mitosis.
One thing that happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis is that produces 2 cellular divisions. This occurs as a direct result of sexual reproduction.
