Question

Does the number of chromosomes remain the same as produced by Meiosis I?

Answer 1

Meiosis I

1. The first and second meiotic divisions are the two types of meiotic divisions.
2. During meiosis I, the chromosomal number is reduced, transforming the cell from a diploid to a haploid state.
3. During meiosis II, on the other hand, both chromatids of each chromosome migrate apart from one another and divide daughter cells.
4. As a result, the number of chromosomes produced by meiosis remains constant
5. Meiosis I is a special kind of cell division that only occurs in germ cells, whereas meiosis II resembles mitosis.
6. Prophase I marks the start of meiosis I, the first meiotic division.
7. Chromosomes are formed during prophase I during the condensing of the DNA and protein complex known as chromatin.
8. The sister chromatids, or pairs of replicated chromosomes, continue to be united at a central region known as the centromere.
