In meiosis all the chromosomes are incorporated into sperm cells whereas production of an unfertilized egg results in the leftover chromosomes incorporated into polar bodies.

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
What is the process of division that results in the formation of cells with half the usual number of chromosomes?
The process of meiosis.
Could crossing over occur during second meiotic division?
No, tips of homologous chromosomes cross over in Meiosis I. There are no homologous chromosomes by Meiosis I.
What are the main differences between meiosis and mitosis division?
Mitosis produces cells with 46 chromosomes while meiosis produces cells with only half the chromosomes, 23.
Why do gametes have n numbers of chromosomes but not 2n?
Gametes are produced by the type of cell division called meiosis. During meiosis the number of chromosomes are halved. So if a cell starts off with 2n chromosomes and divides by meiosis the new cells will end up with n chromosomes.
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division happens in what type of cell division?
only in meosis
What happens to cell and chromosomes during meiosis?
Cell division takes place in the cells and chromosomes line up along the center of the cell
What happens to chromosomes for meiosis to start?
The chromosomes divide.
What will separate in the first division in meiosis one?
chromosomes
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
Appears in prophase 1?
In prophase I of meiosis, chromosomes can be seen under an optical microscope. The chromosomes appear shorter and thicker. Meiotic division happens in two stages.

In the first division of meiosis that you just observed what happens to the number of chromosomes per cell?
It depends on what the animal or plant is. For humans, the first division results in 23 chromosomes per cell
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.
What is the name of the type of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes?
Meiosis
