In anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. Due to DNA replication and crossing over during prophase I, these chromosomes consist of a pair of non-identical sister chromatids. During anaphase II of meiosis, the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes.

Do homologous chromosomes pair in mitosis?

Homologous chromosomes do not pair in mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division where a cell duplicates its DNA and splits into two identical daughter cells, so the homologous chromosomes do not need to pair up like they do in meiosis.


What does meiosis cause the chromosomes to do during cell division?

Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.


The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division happens in what type of cell division?

The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division occurs in meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of sex cells (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How is the chromosomes number halved during cell division: through mitosis or meiosis?

The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.


What is the process of division that results in the formation of cells with half the usual number of chromosomes?

The process of meiosis.


During which stage of cell division do homologous chromosomes pair up: mitosis or meiosis?

Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.


How does the arrangement in chromosomes at meta phase differ in mitotic division and the first division?

In mitotic division, chromosomes are arranged individually in the middle of the cell at metaphase, whereas in the first division of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are paired together in the middle. This pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis and is unique to meiosis.


What is the process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of chromosomes?

During Meiosis, the process at which reproductive cells divide, the new daughter cells will have half the chromosomes as the parent cells. On the other hand, during mitosis, the division of body cells, after the process is over, the daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parents.


Meiossis is cell division in which the number of chromosomes?

Before mitosis begins, the cell replicates its chromosomes (so the chromosome number doubles). Then during/after mitosis the cell splits in half - so each daughter cell produced by mitosis has the same chromosome number as the original cell.


What is the name of the type of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes?

Meiosis


Meiosis is necessary to produce?

Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is important to reproduce due to the sets of chromosomes in the cell.


What happens during Meiosis you?

During meiosis, a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg), DNA is replicated once, followed by two rounds of cell division. The process results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, leading to genetic diversity through recombination and independent assortment of chromosomes.
