though the cells formed at the end of meiosis 2 are diploid, they have double the amount of chromosomal material. hence meiosis 2, equivalent to mitosis, is necessary to restore the chromosomal material to normal by distributing it among 2 cells each.

What happens in meiosis you that does not occur in meiosis?

One thing that happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis is that produces 2 cellular divisions. This occurs as a direct result of sexual reproduction.


Meiosis divides the chromosomes in the nucleus how many times?

Two successive nuclear divisions occur, Meiosis I (Reduction) and Meiosis II (Division)


Which process produces 4 cells with one half the chromosomes as the parent cell?

The process is know as Meiosis II, the second stage in the process of cell division for sexual reproduction.


What is the chromosome number at the end of meiosis 1?

Homologous chromosomes are separated at the end of meiosis 1. At the end of meiosis 2, the sister chromatids are separated. At the end of meiosis 1: the daughter cells contain 2n number of chromosomes (where n is the haploid number for that particular organism) At the end of meiosis 2: the daughter cells contain n number of chromosomes.


How do you review stages of mitosis and meiosis and can identify the steps in drawing and descriptions?

Mitosis is the process of Repeat Division into daughter cells identical to the mother cell, Meiosis, instead has 2 stages, which the first one is called Meiosis I and its the process of Reduction Division. stage 2: In an easier format, Mitosis is not exactly, but very similar to Meiosis II, the names of the phases are the same. the only difference are the number of chromosomes inside the unique cell, and the combination of chromosomes (because to remind yourself, in Prophase of Meiosis II Crossover occurs, meaning it take a piece of the previous chromosome.

What events occur in telophase?

Telophase occur in both mitosis and meiosis. During telophase nuclear membrane and nuclei reforms and in meiosis it further goes for meiosis 2 which is same as mitosis


What major events occur in telophase?

Telophase occur in both mitosis and meiosis. During telophase nuclear membrane and nuclei reforms and in meiosis it further goes for meiosis 2 which is same as mitosis


Does crossing over occur during prophase 2 of meiosis?

No, crossing over occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis, not prophase 2.


What Meiosis occurs in .?

meiosis occurs in the overies and the testies.....there is 2 stage of meiosis...meiosis 1 and meiosis


Does meiosis 2 have a prophase stage?

Yes, it does, only it is called prophase 2 or prophase II.


What is the difference between meiosis1 and 2?

Meiosis 1 is the first stage of meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two daughter cells with half the original number of chromosomes. Meiosis 2 is the second stage where sister chromatids separate, leading to the formation of four haploid daughter cells.


Why does meiosis 2 occur in the process of cell division?

Meiosis 2 occurs in the process of cell division to further separate the sister chromatids produced during meiosis 1, resulting in the formation of haploid gametes with unique genetic information.
