What is the final product of meiosos?

4 nuclei


When cells divide to create 2 identical cells the produce by?

meiosos


What occurs in meiosos but not in mitosis?

lining up of tetrads, crossing over, and separation of homologous chromosomes.


What is the product of meiosos 2?

The product of meiosis 2 is four haploid daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. These daughter cells are genetically unique due to the random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.


What is the importance of crossing - over during the first division of meiosos?

Crossing over during the first division of meiosis is important because it increases genetic diversity by creating new combinations of genes on chromosomes. This genetic recombination results in offspring with unique genetic traits.


How many times does the cell divide during meiosos?

A cell undergoes two rounds of division during meiosis, resulting in a total of two divisions. This process helps to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.


What happens if nondisjunction occurs during meiosos?

If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis the result could be a wide range of mutations. Most likely it would result in mosaicism meaning there will be a mixture of affected cells and non affected cells.


Eukaryotic cells do not reproduce through binary fission Instead they reproduce through a process called?

Eukaryotic cells reproduce through a process called mitosis, where a parent cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. This process ensures the accurate distribution of genetic material to maintain the organism's genetic integrity.


What are the steps of meiosos?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, such as eggs and sperm. The steps of meiosis include meiosis I (prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I) and meiosis II (prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II). During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material, leading to genetic variation. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate to form haploid daughter cells.


How is mitosis and meiosos alike and different?

Mitosis is the process in where cells are made throughout the body. The process is called IPMAT, this stands for Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Mitosis makes different cells with different functions for specific body functions except for the sex gametes. Meiosis on the other hand makes the sex gametes and its process is the same except it is repeated twice. It is called IPMATPMAT Interphase Prohase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Meiosis can only make sex gametes and nothing more.
