MELOSIS AND SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
, MELOSIS AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
meiosis is of nuclear division that reduces chromosome number from diploid (2n) to
type
haploid (n)
↳
diploid (2n) number >
-
total number of chromosomes , exists in two sets
↳
haploid (n) number -
half the diploid number ,
single set of chromosomes
reduces diploid number of 46 chromosomes to haploid number of 23 chromosomes in humans
reproductive cells that have haploid number of chromosomes
gametes
=
↳ in sexual reproduction haploid (produced meiosis) into a
gametes during merge
diploid cell- zygote
↳
in plants and animals ,
zygote develops into adult
organism
meiosis to reduce diploid number of chromosomes into haploid number so that
necessary ,
parents can produce diploid
offspring
