half of each parents' chromosomes go to the offspring
What else can I help you with?
What must happen before meiosis can begin?
DNA replicates and forms tetrad—APEX.
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.
Is duplication of paired chromosomes in the first stage of meiosis?
Yes duplication of chromosomes occurs during the first stage of meiosis or during prophase.
During meiosis, when do the chromosomes line up as homologous pairs?
During meiosis, chromosomes line up as homologous pairs during the first stage of meiosis, known as prophase I.
During meiosis, which chromosomes separate and go to different gametes?
During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and go to different gametes.
What happens during the first division of meiosis that does not happen in meiosis?
In Meiosis I: Separates homologous chromosomes In Meiosis II: Separates sister chromatids
How do chromosomes align differently in meiosis compared to mitosis?
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
What does meiosis cause the chromosomes to do during cell division?
Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.
What two things happen during meiosis?
chromosomes split and the cell divides The above mentioned two things happen in mitosis also, so the correct answer would be - 1. Exchange of chromatin material by crossing over and 2. Reduction in the number of chromosomes to half.
When do homologous chromosomes separate into the daughter cells?
They are separated in Anaphase I of Meiosis I.
What might happen if an egg cell received two X chromosomes during meiosis instead of one?
The offspring could have three X chromosomes or two X chromosomes and a Y chromosome.
What happen during meiosis?
the process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the # of chromosomes in reproductive cells
