They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.


Was hybridization the ultimate source of genetic variability?

Often in reproduction, broken chromosomes are formed by random natural factors. When these combine with other chromosomes, new characteristics can be formed which are different from the Natural Chromosomes.


Chromosomes of a pair of homologous chromosomes may differ from other chromosomes in terms of?

Homologous chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and genetic content. They may differ from other chromosomes in the genome in terms of the specific alleles they carry at corresponding gene loci. These differences in allele sequences can result in variations in traits or genetic disorders.


What is the Number of chromosomes after each division after mitoses?

the number of chromosomes is double the numbe of chromosomes that were devided. so in other words the chromosomes double.


How the new cells formed from meiosis compared to each other?

New cells formed from meiosis are genetically unique due to the process of crossing over and independent assortment, which leads to genetic variability. Additionally, the resulting cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. In contrast, cells formed from mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell and have the same number of chromosomes.

Gametes have what kind of Chromosomes?

Gametes have haploid chromosomes, which means they have half the number of chromosomes of other cells in the body.


What is a sex-linked trait and how does it differ from other types of genetic traits?

A sex-linked trait is a genetic characteristic that is determined by genes located on the sex chromosomes, specifically the X or Y chromosomes. This differs from other types of genetic traits because they are not influenced by the sex chromosomes and can be located on any of the other chromosomes in the cell.


How does the number of chromosomes in gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually differ from the numbers of chromosomes in other cells?

Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.


How many chromosomes form after meiosis?

Meiosis forms sex cells. So, there are 23 chromosomes at the end of meiosis.


How many daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis?

Four daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis. These daughter cells are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell due to the crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes that occur during meiosis.


How does mitosis differ from meiosis in terms of their processes and outcomes?

Mitosis is a cell division process that results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a cell division process that results in four genetically unique daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
