What are th strands of DNA called during cell division?
chromosomes
Before cell division begins each chromosomes consists of two identical joined chromosomes called?
sister chromatids
What is the phase when chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell called?
The phase in cell division where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell is called metaphase.
Describe how the chromosomes pairs are numbered?
It all begins from mitosis. Mitosis is the process of the cell division. Mitosis starts when the chromatin within the cell begins to rearrange into orderly strand called chromosomes. The chromosomes then move into pairs. After that, the chromosome pairs begin to pull apart from each other. Eventually, the chromosome pairs split apart into two new cells with the same makeupas the original cell.
What is the separation of homologous pairs of double chromosomes during meiosis?
the stage is called the "first division"
When a cell contains 1 set of chromosomes what is it called?
Gametes are reproductive cells produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. They contain only one set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.
Is meiosis cell division?
Yes, meiosis is a type of cell division. But it is also called a reduction division. Instead of two daughter cells four cells are produced that have half the number of chromosomes. These cells are called gametes or sex cells.
Division of body cell nuclei?
The threadlike bodies of cells within the nucleus are called chromosomes, also known as DNA. They become visible during the division process.
Why meiotic division is called reduction division?
Meiotic division is called reduction division because the daughter cells (called 'gametes') are haploid, that is, carry half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells. Gametes carry one chromosome of each homologous pair, whereas the diploid parent cells carry both.
What is it called when DNA is scrunched up in dividing cells?
Chromatin, if "scrunched up" refers to uncoiled. It is chromosomes not chromatin
Is meiosis a cell division?
Yes, meiosis is a type of cell division. But it is also called a reduction division. Instead of two daughter cells four cells are produced that have half the number of chromosomes. These cells are called gametes or sex cells.
Which event makes meiosis a reduction division and why?
Meiosis 1 is called a reduction division because it reduces the number of chromosomes from diploid to haploid. This division results in the production of gametes.
