Verified answer
If it did not, the chromosome number would double in each generation.

In order to copulate, you take half of your geans from each parent (i.e., 23 chromosomes from each) Otherwise, if you take all the chromosomes and add them together, you will get 92 chromosomes in one cell, which produces a nonviable progeny.
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.
Meiosis produces cells that?
half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
What produces with half the normal number of chromosome?
the answer is MEIOSIS meiosis produces 4 single cells with half member of the chromosomes mitosis produces 2 cells with full member of the chromosomes
How are the products of meiosis and the products of mitosis different?
Mitosis produces two cells indentical to the parent cells. Meiosis produces four sex cells each with half as many chromosomes as the parents
Is meiosis or mitosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original cell?
Meiosis.
What produces cells with half the chromosomes?
Meiosis.
What produces cell with half the normal number of chromosomes?
the answer is MEIOSIS meiosis produces 4 single cells with half member of the chromosomes mitosis produces 2 cells with full member of the chromosomes
What produces cells with half normal number of chromosomes?
Meiosis is a form of cell division that produces four daughter cells that are haploid (have half the number of chromosomes found in a normal/somatic cell). Meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction, and produces gametes (sperm and ovum/egg).

Meiosis is a process that produces what?
Meiosis produces four genetically distinct sex cells.
Meiosis produces cells that?
half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
What produces with half the normal number of chromosome?
the answer is MEIOSIS meiosis produces 4 single cells with half member of the chromosomes mitosis produces 2 cells with full member of the chromosomes
Characteristics of meiosis include?
Meiosis is a type of sexual reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half by means of separation of homologous chromosomes, producing 2 haploid cells whereas Mitosis is a process of asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two producing two similar cells with equal number of chromosomes resulting in 2 diploid cells. Meiosis produces female egg cells or male sperm cells. Mitosis produces all cells other than sex cells.
How are the products of meiosis and the products of mitosis different?
Mitosis produces two cells indentical to the parent cells. Meiosis produces four sex cells each with half as many chromosomes as the parents
Is meiosis or mitosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original cell?
Meiosis.
What produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the origianal cells?
I believe it is Meiosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original parent cells.
What is the number of chromosomes in daughter cells in humans during meiosis?
Meiosis produces daughter cells with half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. This means that because a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes, a gamete (produced through meiosis) will only contain 23 chromosomes.
