Explain the process of meiosis in simple terms.
Explain the process of meiosis in simple terms.
Homologous pairs separate into two daughter cells in meiosis I, then meiosis II separates sister chromatids. Each resulting gamete contains 23 chromosomes.
What is the significance of crossovers in meiosis I?
What is the significance of crossovers in meiosis I?
Crossovers enhance genetic variability by redistributing genetic material and randomly distributing homologous chromosomes to daughter cells.
What is the difference between gamete and polar body formation in meiosis?
What is the difference between gamete and polar body formation in meiosis?
Gametes contain a haploid number of chromosomes, while polar bodies receive little cytoplasm and do not develop into mature gametes.
