∙ 9y agoBecause meiosis involves formation of bivalent of chromosomes by pairing between homologous chromosomes for exchange of genetic material to have new combinations and the haploid gametes after fertilization form the diploid cell (zygote).

What produces cells with half normal number of chromosomes?
Meiosis is a form of cell division that produces four daughter cells that are haploid (have half the number of chromosomes found in a normal/somatic cell). Meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction, and produces gametes (sperm and ovum/egg).
Why meiosis produce cells with fewer chromosomes?
Sexual reproduction joins two cells that each have half the total chromosome number.
When a cell with half the normal number of chromosomes is generated during meiosis how can it eventually produce cells with the normal number of chromosomes?
by using Harry Potter's wand.
How many chromosomes form after meiosis?
Meiosis forms sex cells. So, there are 23 chromosomes at the end of meiosis.
If a cell in a dog undergoes meiosis and another cell undergoes mitosis how many chromosomes will each resulting cell contain?
Meiosis is usually reserved for cells used in sexual reproduction. They have half the number of chromosomes found in the organism's somatic cells. A mosquito has six chromosomes in its somatic cells, and therefore would have three in each gamete formed by meiosis.

What are the main functions of meiosis?
The main function of meiosis is to produce gametes, which are the egg and sperm cells. These cells have half of the number of chromosomes that are in a normal body cells.
Meiosis is necessary to produce?
Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is important to reproduce due to the sets of chromosomes in the cell.
What produces cells with half the chromosomes?
Meiosis.
Why meiosis produce cells with fewer chromosomes?

What is the number of chromosomes in daughter cells in humans meiosis?
The number of chromosomes in daughter cells in human meiosis is 23. During meiosis, the number of chromosomes in the parent cells (sperm and egg cells) is halved to produce haploid daughter cells, which contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.
What is the process by wich cells have half the chromosomes?
meiosis
What produces cell with half the normal number of chromosomes?
the answer is MEIOSIS meiosis produces 4 single cells with half member of the chromosomes mitosis produces 2 cells with full member of the chromosomes
Why does meiosis produce cells with half chromosome?

What is it called when cells are copied with half he number of chromosomes?
Meiosis
