1. DNA doubles in amount (enough DNA for 92 chromosomes)
2. cell divides into 2 cells (with half the DNA in each cell-enough for 46 chromosomes)
3. both of those cells now divide into 2 (and once again the DNA is halved)
4. final result: 4 new cells formed with 1/4 of the original DNA (enough for 23 chromosomes)
important: each time the DNA is halved its sequence mixed around so that the genes sequence on the DNA is changed. as a result each 1 of the 4 daughter cells will be genetically different.
What else can I help you with?
How many chromosomes are there after meosis?
after meosis , there are 46 chromosomes .
What happens in meosis 1 that does not occur in meosis 2?
Pairing between homologous chromosomes
What is meosis cell division?
meosis cell division is that where a diploid germ cell devides into four haploid cells at the time of gamet formation.
How many cells does meosis produce?
4
Who does DNA make copies of itself?
meosis
What are the phases of meosis?
Meiosis consists of two main phases: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid daughter cells. Meiosis II involves the separation of sister chromatids, producing a total of four haploid daughter cells with unique genetic combinations.

What type of cell division make body cells?
Meosis.
Which stage of meiosis is for the law of independent assortment?
metaphase I of meosis
To maintain the chromosome number of an organism the gamete must what?
