Question

PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY IT"S DUE TODAY AND I DON"T KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! Thank you. :)

Please Help!!

1. What is the function of meiosis?

2. Explain how the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half during meiosis in which the diploid parent cell produces haploid daughter cells.

3. At what phase of meiosis is the number of chromosomes per cell doubled? (Think carefully about this.) What happens after that so that the number of chromosomes per cell does not end up being higher?

4. How many times does the cell divide during meiosis?

5. Why are the cells produced by meiosis considered gametes?

Answer 1

1: to produce daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes that are in parent cells.

Answer 2

Answer: Meiosis is used for just one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes—sex cells, or sperm and eggs. Its goal is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell.

the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell. Meiosis usually involves two distinct divisions, called meiosis I and meiosis II. By the end of meiosis II, the diploid cell becomes four haploid cells.

number 3. i don,t know this one sry

4. a single cell during meiosis divides twice in total in the process

The cells in meiosis are considered gametes because they are sex cells causing sexual repoduction.
