what is meiosis 1?and what are stages in mieosis 1
Answers
Explanation:
Mitotic cell division is equational in nature while meiosis is a reduction division. The salient features of meiotic division that make it different from mitosis are as follows:-
It occurs in two stages of the nuclear and cellular division as Meiosis I and Meiosis II. DNA replication occurs, however, only once.
It involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between them.
Four haploid daughter cells are produced at the end, unlike two diploid daughter cells in mitosis.
Meiosis 1 separates the pair of homologous chromosomes and reduces the diploid cell to haploid. It is divided into several stages that include, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Answer:
meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cell containing half the original amount of genetic information
