It reduces half the number of chromosomes because its spliting up a cell and that also splits into to parts. The most chromosomes human can have is 46 so ya. UNICORNS R AWESOME AND SO IS JOEY GRACEFFA
During meiosis, the chromosome number doubles because the cells replicate their DNA and split into two cells in meiosis I and in meiosis II, they replicate DNA and split once again, to form four cells.
In Anaphase I
If the chromosome number were not reduced during meiosis, the resulting gametes would have double the normal number of chromosomes. This would lead to an imbalance in the genetic material when the gametes combine during fertilization, resulting in genetic abnormalities and potentially nonviable offspring.
During meiosis, the chromosome number is reduced by half. This is because the cell undergoes two rounds of division, resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The chromosome number is halved during the first stage of meiosis, known as meiosis I.

In Anaphase I
During meiosis, the chromosome number decreases by half. For example, if a human cell with 46 chromosomes were to undergo meiosis, the result would be four daughter cells with 23 chromosomes in each.

The chromosome number is halved during cell division in meiosis, not mitosis.
The chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid during meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) and involves two rounds of division resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
During the reduction division of meiosis, the chromosome number is reduced by half, from diploid to haploid. This reduction ensures that when gametes fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.
No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.
During meiosis, the chromosome number decreases by half. For example, if a human cell with 46 chromosomes were to undergo meiosis, the result would be four daughter cells with 23 chromosomes in each.
