What is the process in which chromosomes of a diploid cell are duplicated and passed down to a haploid daughter cell?

Answer 1

Meiosis is the process during which the diploid set of chromosomes become haploid. A cell containing the diploid number of chromosomes is converted into four cells, each having the haploid number of chromosome.

Answer 2

Meiosis. Most human cells are diploid but our sex cell eg, sperm otherwise known as gametes are haploid. Chromosomes exist as pairs in the cell, except in sex cells where they are loners. So in humans diploid=46 haploid=23

Meiosis can be thought of as a two step process: The first step is the mitotic step when the cell splits into two cells that are identical to the original and are therefore diploid.

In the second step these two cells split again, so we now have four cells, but they are not identicle to the originals. Instead they only have half the number of chromosomes as the originals and are haploid.

Kinda makes sense when you think about it,

sperm [23 chromosomes] + egg [23 chromosomes]= baby [46 chromosomes]

hmmmm sperm + sperm + egg = mean 3some and a paternaty test?

Answer 3

This process is called fertilization.

Answer 4

fretlization

Answer 5

hhhhh
