True. After the first meiotic division, the cells are diploid, because the chromosomes are duplicated.
<h3>What is meiotic division?</h3>
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the production of four gamete cells and a 50% reduction in the number of chromosomes in the parent cell.
This mechanism is essential for the development of egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
The two separate cell division processes are meiosis and mitosis.
The process of making new cells for the body, known as mitosis, is usually meant when the term "cell division" is used.
Meiosis, a cell division process, is what creates egg and sperm cells.
Mitosis is an essential biological mechanism.
Two cellular divisions make up the meiotic process: To reduce the number of chromosomes in half, pairs of homologous chromosomes are divided during the first meiotic division.
During the second meiotic division, sister chromatids are split apart.
The structures that would likely be examples of divergent evolution are the homologous structures. These are structures which share a similar structure and appear in different organisms and yet may vary in function. For example; Mammalian forelimbs are said to be homologous because they are all derived from a vertebrate forelimb.
