What is the result of meiosis I and are the chromosomes replicated or unreplicated?

3 0

The result of meiosis is that the offspring will have no genetic variation, which means that it has less of chance for surviving changes to the environment. What happens to the chromosomes is that they duplicate and homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information (chromosomal crossover) during the first division, called meiosis I. The daughter cells divide again in meiosis II, splitting up sister chromatids to form haploid gametes.

What is the main difference bwtween prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Ymorist [56]

Prokaryotic Cells = do not have a nucleus; generally smaller and simpler that Eukaryotic cells.

-Smaller

-does NOT have a Nucleus

-translates to ‘no Nucleus’ OR ‘no true Nucleus’

-simpler

-they don't have all of their genetic material bound in a nucleus, which is why they are simpler forms of life.

-Prokaryotic cells do have genetic information but it is just stored differently

Ex: Bacteria and Single-Celled organisms

Eukaryotic Cells = Contains a Nucleus and are usually larger and more complex than a Prokaryotic cell
