Question

Meiosis produces cells that have

twice as many chromosomes as a normal cell
three times as many chromosomes as a normal cell
half as many chromosomes as a normal cell
the same number of chromosomes as a normal cell

Answer 1

I will medal (if you tell me how to lol) and fan @fatir5 @studystagram

Answer 2

Meiosis is a two stage process. Reduction and Regular mitosis.
In Reduction process, the number of chromosome is reduced to half of the parent cell. The reason is because in this stage, A single spindle fibre is attached to an individual chromosome dragging them towards themselves, unlike regular mitosis, in which two spindle fibres attach to individual chromosome, dividing into two chromatids, which retains the chromosome number. Two daughter cells are formed after this reduction process with half number of chromosomes.
In second stage, these two daughter cells divide like regular mitosis, and hence we get 4 daughter cells in the end.

Answer 3

so it is A right? @fatir5

Answer 4

Its C

Answer 5

oh ok...half as many. thanks! @fatir5

Answer 6

also, how do you give medals lol?

Answer 8

oh thanks for your help :)

Answer 9

Pleasure :)

Answer 10

One thing, meiosis does not have regular mitosis. The crossing over process happens before cells are split into two let alone four. In mitosis, the cells produced are identical sister cells. In no point in cell division in meiosis are two identical sister cells produced. : )
