What do chromosomes do in meiosis not mitosis?
In mitosis, the end result is a DIPLOID chromosome. In meiosis, which is the process of forming new gametes (sperm and egg), the chromosomes split longitudinally at the centromere, resulting in a gamete which is HAPLOID, ie, it only has 50% of the normal number of chromosomes. When the egg and sperm unite, the resulting fertilized egg now has been restored to a diploidy.
