What is produced by the process of meiosis? A. four haploid cells B. two haploid cells C. four diploid cells D. two diploid cells

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will give medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@butterflydreamer

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

oh i just did this topic not too long ago.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so you can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry A *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? I'm confussed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@butterflydreamer

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

what don't you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D. four haploid cells

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what everyone just keeps giving away answers and it's so confussing @butterflydreamer

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

do you know the stages in meiosis? have you read about it in your text book or online?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but everyone just keeps saying the answer and it conffuses me

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

lmao okay! do you want me to explain the different phases in meiosis and give you annotations or?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and explain the answer to me please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that will help me alot

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

alright i'll give you a run through and then i'll send you an image . So these are the basic stages of meiosis: Early prophase : This is where the chromosomes separate out into homologous pairs Late prophase: The nuclear membrane breaks down. Chromosomes split into chromatids. Crossing over occurs : genetic variation occurs. Metaphase I: Chromosomes align in pairs in the middle of the cell. Random segregation occurs here. Anaphase I: Chromosome pairs separate and each chromosome moves to the opposite end of the cell. Telophase: Two daughter cells are formed and the chromosome number is halved. Cytokinesis I : Daughter cells are not identical to each other and have half the original number of chromosomes. Metaphase II: Chromosomes align at the equator of the cell. Anaphase II: Chromatids (the "arm" of the chromosomes) move apart, to opposite poles. Cytokinesis II : The result is four daughter cells that are NOT identical to each other and they each have half the original number of chromosomes. We call these haploids. Here are some screenshots from my notes. It's way easier to understand it in these pictures :) http://prntscr.com/6x88v2 http://prntscr.com/6x89e0

ya I know tho's it's the answer part poeple keep saying it's that not that no that not that and it's just so conffusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's D .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the only part I am froze on

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

lmao so you know what it is? tbh if you get confused, just look at the screenshots from my notes ^_^ It's way easier to see what's happening in meiosis and i included one which shows both meiosis and mitosis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but poeple say D no A no D it's CONFUSSING

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yah loll. go with what you know! So final answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's either A or D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what it's going to be one of the two

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

did you read.. anything i wrote? lmao......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A or D

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

so you should know the answer :) What is produced will be what is formed at your last phase. so concentrate on the last phase and look at the images. do you see four or two cells? then did i say they were haploids (half the number of chromosomes) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A or D is one of the answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

wait.. we can choose two? O_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's one of the two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A or D

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yes then yes it is..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one is right one is not

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yep....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:dies:

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

correct. good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

:)
