Meiosis IS the process wherein the 'chromosome number' is reduced ... by one-half. This is the result of the separation of the two chromosomes of each of the chromosome pairs and the 'packaging' of each daughter chromatid into what are called 'Daughter cells'.

Meiosis is a process of cell reduction Explain this statement?
the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
How many chromosomes would a cell have during metaphase 1 of meiosis if it has 12 chromosomes during interphase?
Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.
When does the reduction of chromosomes from the diploid to the haploid number take place?
During 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.
Physical process that occurs more than once during meiosis?
During the process known as meiosis, cytokinesis occurs twice. Meiosis is cell division and is associated with sexual reproduction.
The chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid during what?
meiosis I is reduction, meiosis II is division.
What stage of of meiosis do homologous pairs separate?
Reduction Division

What does the term reduction division mean?
Cell division in which the volume of the two daughter cells does not increase. The result is a progressive increase in cell number, without a corresponding increase in the size of the tissue. Reductive divisions are characteristic of cleavage in early embryos.
Explain how the chromosomes number is reduced from diploid to haploid through the stages of meiosis?
During meiosis, the number of chromosomes in a cell are split in half so that each daughter cell becomes haploid. This means that given 2n chromosomes, after meiosis I, each cell has 2n chromatids, or n chromosomes. After anaphase II, each daughter cell ends up with n chromosomes, each made up of 1 chromatid. Rearrangement is the process that ensures genetic diversity, which allows for crossover and independent assortment during prophase I.
When does the reduction of chromosomes from the diploid to the haploid number take place?
During meiosis
What is the significance of the reduction in the chromosomes number during meiosis?
Ya mum.
Which cell division process is used in the production of gametes during Mitosis or Meiosis?
Meiosis

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.
How are sex cells different from other cells?
They have haploid number of chromosomes. They undergo meiosis cell division during their formation.it is the type of cell division in which the chromosome number of the parent is reduced cells to half in the daughter cells.
