Question

15. What reason would you suggest for the fact that the total DNA content of each daughter cellis reduced during meiosis?
a) Chromosomes do not duplicate during the interphase before meiosis
b ) Chromosomes do not duplicate between meiosis i and I
c Half of the chromosomes from each gamete are broken
d ) Sister chromatids separate during anaphase of meiosis!​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because the chromosome number of a species remains the same from one generation to the next, the chromosome number of germ cells must be reduced by half during meiosis. To accomplish this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis, involves a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division
