Question

How do the resulting cells at the end of meiosis compare to the original cell from the beginning of meiosis?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Meiosis does not include chromosomal replication.

2. Thus, the pairs of chromosomes are divided into single chromosomes.

3. In humans, that means that after Meiosis, except for 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, there will only be 23 chromosomes.

4. A normal cell with 23 pairs of chromosomes are considered diploid, so the cells with 23 chromosomes are haploid.

5. The only cells with haploid nature are the gametes.
