Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Meiosis is the process of cell division occurring in sexually reproducing organism. In the process the number of chromosomes is reduced to half resulting into four haploid cells. Different phases of meiosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During the cycle, a pair of homologous chromosomes is formed.

- Every somatic cell in a human contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. Pairs 1 to 22 are autosomes, while pair 23 are the sex chromosomes. The pairs are described as homologous chromosomes. Answer the following questions about homologous chromosomes: Where do the chromosomes that make up each pair come from? Explain how the terms homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids are different. In genetic males, there is one pair that is not homologous. Identify the pair and explain why.arrow_forwardSister chromatids of a chromosome are identical ________arrow_forwardterm for random alignment of the homologs along the metaphase plate of meiosis I (2 words)arrow_forward
- Mitosis is used to make more body cells while meiosis is only used to make gametes for sexual reproduction. Use the diagram to identify one similarity and one difference between mitosis and meiosis. Your answer must specifically refer to this diagram.
