The chromosome number is reduced by a process called meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized cell division process that results in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Mitosis reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes identical to the parent cell. This process is crucial for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms.
The chromosome number is halved during the process of meiosis in the cell cycle.
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.
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 process of chromosomes separating during cell division is called "chromosome segregation" or "chromosome disjunction." This ensures that each new cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
Mitosis reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes identical to the parent cell. This process is crucial for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms.
Total number of chromosomes remain same in same species of organism through meiosis process. In meiosis process the number of chromosomes are reduced to half as a result in gametes only one set of chromosomes will be present. In this process chromosomes are same.....
The chromosome number is halved during the process of meiosis in the cell cycle.
It is called meiosis.
i have now idea? you should ask a teacher
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.
they duplicate
The chromosome number is reduced by half in the first meiotic division, going from diploid to haploid, while the chromosome arms remain the same. In the second meiotic division, the chromosome number remains the same, but the sister chromatids are separated resulting in haploid daughter cells.
Non-disjunction
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.
Haploid
