Where does a diploid occur?
Every cell in the body, other than the sperm and egg cells, is diploid. This means that they all have the whole complement of two sets of 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The gametes, sex cells, only have one set of 23 chromosomes. This is called haploid. This is so that when one haploid gamete from a female and another haploid gamete from a male fuse, a diploid cell will form and be able to mitotically replicate to produce an individual.
What events occur in the end of meiosis?
sister chromatids are seperated.
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 divides the chromosomes in the nucleus how many times?
Two successive nuclear divisions occur, Meiosis I (Reduction) and Meiosis II (Division)
What is the importance of the haploid 1N Number?
The significance is, haploid 1N merely means that instead of having two sets of chromosomes (2N) there is only one set. Usually it is referred to when discussing gametes (sex cells) and sexual reproduction. Most organisms are diploid, and have that 2N formula. They have two sets of chromosomes in their sperm or egg. When a sex cell matures, it goes through meiosis, which splits the number of chromosomes from the 2N diploid to 1N haploid, so fertilization can occur. And the cycle continues...Once two cells join, and fertilization has occurred, the cell is 2N. When the organism's sex cells mature, they divide to create the haploid 1N.

Can meiosis occur in haploid cell?
Yes, mitosis can occur in a cell of any ploidy. There will only be two daughter cells at the end of mitosis and both cells will have the same ploidy as the parent cell. (e.g. A diploid cell will go through mitosis producing 2 diploid daughter cells. A haploid cell will produce 2 haploid daughter cells at the end of mitosis.)
What cell process is used to make gametes?
Gametes are Haploid (N) - From a Diploid (2N) cell, a cell must go through meiosis - From another Haploid cell, mitosis must occur to produce another cell.
Does meiosis occur in diploid cells?
First off, your query should be "Do mitosis and meiosis produce diploid cells?" The answer is that mitosis produces diploid cells, since mitosis is used to replace body cells, but meiosis produces haploid cells, since meiosis is used to produce sex cells. The sex cells are haploid because a sex cell eventually combines with another sex cell to create a new organism.
What events occur in the end of meiosis?
sister chromatids are seperated.
If a cell's diploid number is 5 what's the haploid number?
Put simply you can't get a "normal" haploid number from this cell. Normal cells have even diploid numbers so that meiotic division can occur to produce a haploid one with half the number. This cell would encounter problems during meiotic crossing over, and would result in daughter cells with a "mish-mash" whereby the haploid number could be a number of things. Thus fertilisation could not occur normally and the cell would produce infertile gametes. Mitosis could occur normally however so the cell can nultiply asexually. This is effectively what happens with ployploidy ( look it up on wikipedia).
How many pairs of the nucleus occur in meiosis?
in meiosis, two new haploid sex cells are "born" by the division of two other haploid sex cells. So, at the end, there are 4 nuclei.
Can mitosis and meiosis occur at the same time?
No,Meiosis is done in the gonads to produce gametes and it produce 4 haploid cells while mitosis happens ia all body cells producing two daughter cells diploid similar to the parent cell
When does spermatogenisis occur?
four haploid cells.
What is meant by a haploid Cell?
A sex cell that has only half ("ha" = half) one set of chromosomes. Once this cell were to join with the other haploid cell (either an egg or sperm, dependant on what the original haploid cell was) and fertilisation was to occur it would then become a diploid cell ("d" = double)
What is the cell cycle responsible for sexual reproduction which reduces the chromosomal number by half?
it is simply meiosis it occur only in the germ line cells making them haploid cells(n chromosomes) rather than diploid cells(2n chromosomes)
Does mitosis occur in all cells?
Yes mitosis is a nuclear division - Mitosis is the process of nuclear division of either diploid or haploid eukaryotic cells whereby two daughter nuclei are produced that are genetically identical to the parent nucleus.Cell division then follows nuclear division.
