Why is meiosis described as a precess of reduction division?

Because the chromosomes are reduced from 2n to n. From diploid( sister chromatids ) to haploid ( one chromosome ).


How are chromosomes described?

coiled strands of genetic material


What are the two cells called that the parent cell split into?

In animal cells (meiosis) the parent (which is a diploid cell with homologous pairs of chromosomes) seperates into two daughter cells containing the replicated pairs of sister chromatids. The process of meiosis is begun again (meiosis II) from which the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. Then, the two diploid cells separate into 4 haploid daughter cells containing 1 chromosome. This is a generalized answer without the steps of meiosis described.


Are the alternate interior angles of two parallel lines cut by a transveral always interior?

Yes. "Alternate interior" angles are always interior. Angles that are not interior as well as alternate are never accurately described as "alternate interior" angles.

During what in meiosis the chromosomes move apart to the opposite poles of the cell?

The process described in your question is called anaphase. One can remember this step of the cell cycle easily because the chromosomes form 'A' shapes at the ends of the poles- and 'A' is of course the first letter of anaphase. The next step in the cell cycle is telophase- where the cell undergoes cytokinesis- splitting to form two new cells.


How many chromosomes does a spotted salamander have?

almost all salamanders have 24 chromosomes. I don't believe it is any different for the "spotted"- most likely wild type- creature you have described.

In an ovum the number of chromosomes could best be described as?

In an ovum, the number of chromosomes is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the body. This is because during the process of meiosis, the ovum undergoes division to reduce the number of chromosomes by half in preparation for fertilization.
