What kinds of cells are produces from meiosis?
Meiosis is a special kind of cell division that produces haploid (1n) cells. During meiosis, a single cell goes through two cell divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II.) Meiosis takes place only in the reproductive tissues of an organism.
How are meiosis and mitosis alike and different?
Mitosis and meiosis are alike in that they both are a kind of cell division. They are different in that mitosis produces two cells identical to the original, while meiosis produces cells that only have half the chromosomes of the original. Meiosis ends up with haploid cells, while mitosis end up with diploid cells.
Why does meiosis result 1N cells rather than 2N cells?
Meiosis is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in 1N cells. This reduction is necessary for sexual reproduction so that when the male and female gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct 2N chromosome number.
What is a haploid daughter cell?
A haploid daughter cell is a cell that has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. During cell division, the parent cell undergoes meiosis to produce haploid daughter cells, which are essential for sexual reproduction in organisms. These haploid cells combine during fertilization to restore the full complement of chromosomes in the offspring.
What is the difference between the number of chromosomes between a parent cell and its daughter cells?
the daughter cells have half the chromosomes the parent cell does. so when the sex cell combines with the other there isn't double chromosomes. :) the daughter cells have half the chromosomes the parent cell does. so when the sex cell combines with the other there isn't double chromosomes. :)
How many haploid sperm cells have been formed after the meiosis process?
i learned in science class that 4 sperm cells ((aka 1n)and 1n means hapliod) are formed after meiosis. In a female reproductive system, only one is formed.

Which type of cell is produced as the result of meiosis?
Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.

How does a haploid gamete get a 1n number of chromosomes and a 1n amount of DNA?
By the process of meiosis.
What are two parts of cell division?
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
If a nuecleus has 10 chromosomes how many will it's daughter cell have at the end of meiosis?
At the beginning of mitosis, the cell contains twice the usual amount of genetic material (as you said 2n) - therefore when the daughter cells are created they will each get half of this - and will end up with 1n each. In this case n=10.
Why do the 2 daughter cells in mitosis have to divide again in meiosis?
The usual somatic gene complement number = 2N. Upon genomic replication the gene complement number is 4N. Somatic Cell division 'reduces' the number 'back to' 2N. Gametic Cells, egg and sperm, need to "divide again" in meiosis to further reduce the gene complement number down to the required 1N [again, for gametic cells only].
What is meiosis?
Division of cells in which four "daughter" cells are produced from one "parent" cell, each with half the genes of the parent. Meiosis is a special kind of cell division that produces haploid (1n) cells. yah
