metaphase I of meiosis
Metaphase of meiosis 2 has the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle. In meiosis 1, during metaphase, there are still pairs of homologous chromosomes lined up at the equator.
AnaPhase1
Homologous chromosomes
The total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is twice the number of unique chromosomes. For humans, the total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is 46.
Offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent, resulting in pairs of homologous chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes. Thus, an offspring would have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, one from each parent.
Homologous pairs are lined up in both meiosis 2 and mitosis along the equator of the cell during metaphase.
Metaphase of meiosis 2 has the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle. In meiosis 1, during metaphase, there are still pairs of homologous chromosomes lined up at the equator.
pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
There are two chromosome that are at the metaphase II equator. Chromosomes are already duplicated and are homologous pairs in Metaphase II.
AnaPhase1
Humans have a total of 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes.
The cells that have pairs of homologous chromosomes are called diploid cells.
Homologous chromosomes
The total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is twice the number of unique chromosomes. For humans, the total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is 46.
Leopard frogs have 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes, for a total of 26 chromosomes.
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are not normally found in gametes, which are reproductive cells such as eggs and sperm. This is because gametes are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes, while homologous pairs consist of two sets of matching chromosomes.
there are 23 pairs of matching chromosomes 46 chromosomes altogether.
