If it did not, the chromosome number would double in each generation.

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).


How many chromosomes does meiosis produce as the original?

In humans meiosis produces 23 chromosomes. The human body cell has 46 chromosomes When meiosis occurs 1/2 of the body cells go into the haploid cell produced


Meiosis is a process that produces what?

Meiosis is a process that produces haploid cells, such as gametes (sperm and egg), which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This allows for genetic diversity and the formation of new combinations of genes in offspring.


Meiosis produces cells that?

Meiosis produces cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, are genetically unique due to crossing over and random assortment of chromosomes, and are used in sexual reproduction to produce gametes (sex cells).

How are the products of meiosis and the products of mitosis different?

Mitosis produces two cells indentical to the parent cells. Meiosis produces four sex cells each with half as many chromosomes as the parents


Is meiosis or mitosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original cell?

Meiosis.


What produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the origianal cells?

I believe it is Meiosis that produces new cells with each having half as many chromosomes as the original parent cells.


How many chromosomes produce meiosis?

It produces four genetically different cells with 23 chromosomes each. They are haploid.


Characteristics of meiosis include?

Meiosis is a type of sexual reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half by means of separation of homologous chromosomes, producing 2 haploid cells whereas Mitosis is a process of asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two producing two similar cells with equal number of chromosomes resulting in 2 diploid cells. Meiosis produces female egg cells or male sperm cells. Mitosis produces all cells other than sex cells.
