Gametes must be haploid because two gametes will unite during fertilization to create a diploid cell fertilization results with a haploid zygote a O b gametes are small and can hold only the haploid number of chromosomes the gametes' chromosomes will be replicated prior to cell division

A: The compactly packed structure that is composed of proteins and nucleic acids is known as a…

Q: If nondisjunction occurs in humans for one pair of sister chromatids during Meiosis 2, what…

A: In chromosome non-disjunction, the segregation of sister chromatids is prevented. It results in a…

Q: Why does DNA not replicate between meiosis I and meiosis II?

A: In the process of meiosis one cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells. Meiosis produces…
