Question

what does meiosis produce?

Answer 1

does is produce gametes

Answer 2

please help i got a quix 2mroow in bio

Answer 3

any answers

Answer 4

Yes, it does produce gametes in diploid animals. More specifically though it produces 2 haploid cells.

Answer 5

sorry, it produces 4 haploid cells I think, not 2.

Answer 6

sex cells

Answer 7

Sex cells in humans, but that's not the only instances of meiosis I don't think.

@blues, do you know, or can someone else help me out here. Meiosis happens in more than just formation of gametes right?

Answer 8

Meiosis only occurs in formation of gametes. One diploid cell fated to become an egg or a sperm goes through a round of DNA rep; it then goes through two rounds of meiosis without further DNA replication to create four haploid gametes.

Answer 9

I knew the process, but I thought other organisms used it as well. It's been a few years since I took bio, For some reason I can remember all the steps of meiosis, but not why it's done. Thanks.

Answer 10

In higher diploid organisms, meiosis produces haploid gametes (in us, eggs and sperm). In order to get offspring, you have to have fertilization of haploid gametes.
he offspring are created when a sperm cell (n, 23 chroms) meets an egg cell (n, 23 chroms), and they fuse, n + n = 2n (and 46 chroms)
The sperm (monitoring male gamete) and ovum (stationary female gamete) are both produced by meiosis, that is why they contain 23 chromosomes, because in meiosis there are haploid cells

Answer 11

Not a prob. ;D

Answer 12

sex cells
