What would be produced by meiosis?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It produces haploid cells, which are also known as gametes.


In animals the process which results in haploid gametes is known as?

Meiosis


How does the chromosome grouping in step two of mitosis differs from that in step two meiosis?

In step two of mitosis (also known as metaphase) the chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell and in meiosis step two (also known as metaphase I) Tetrads line up on the equator of the cell.


Does crossing over occur in meiosis?

yes crossing-over occurs in meiosis also known as genetic drifting


Is a product of meiosis?

The process of meiosis produces pronography, also called sexual perversion.


What other names is division of a nucleus called other than mitosis or meiosis?

It is also known as karyokinesis(karyo=nucleus,kinesis=division).


Physical process that occurs more than once during meiosis?

During the process known as meiosis, cytokinesis occurs twice. Meiosis is cell division and is associated with sexual reproduction.


What is the number and type of cell produced at the end of meiosis 2?

By the end of meiosis 2 you end up with 4 daughter cells, all of which are haploid (meaning have only one set of chromosomes) these are the sex cells also known as gametes.


When a cell undergoes meiosis one cell becomes four what also occur from meiosis?

B. Cells must divide twice before meiosis is complete C. Cells produced after meiosis I are diploid. D. Cells produced after meiosis II are haploid.


Meiosis leads to variation in offspring by what?

In prophase of meiosis, first, a stage comes (known as crossing over) in which homologous chromosomes, after pairing, exchagne their genetic material. This is the stage where varition occurs during, and only in, meiosis I.


Is meiosis known as reduction division?

mitosis is the process of cell division where in the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells . the chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell..i.e. diploid hence mitosis is known as equational division..


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.
