Question

can someone explain the process of Meiosis?

Answer 1

Interphase, DNA replication, Chromosomes condense, synapsis (pairing of homologous chromosomes) and crossing over, metaphase/ spindle, anaphase/ chromosomes separate, metaphase 1 chromosomes line up individually on spindle, anaphase 2 chromatids separated, 2nd division, (4) haploid gamete cells formed which are genetically varied.
Helps?

Answer 2

Haploid is n - half diploid because it's a body cell and not a daughter cell it has 23
