Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Why gametes have only half the genetic material of the parent cell.
Introduction:
Gametes are the cells involved in sexual reproduction wherein two gametes fuse to produce a zygote which will develop into the offspring.

- meiosis is often termed as a reduction division. what is reduced and when is it reduced?arrow_forwardMeiosis is also known as reduction cell division because it reduces the ploidy level from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). Why do we need to reduce our ploidy level in certain cells?arrow_forwardWhat phase of meiosis does the nuclear membrane breaks down and the spindle begins to form?arrow_forward
- In what stage of meiosis does two chromosomes divide?arrow_forwardIf a diploid cell entering meiosis has 12 chromosome pairs, what is the number of possible chromosomes at the end of meiosis?arrow_forwardWhich statement is true of meiosis? 1)two identical cells in both divisions 2)the first division produces haploid cells and the second produces diploid cells 3)the first division produces diploid cells and the second produces haploid cells 4) the products of both meiotic divisions are haploidarrow_forward
