Answer:

There will be 23 chromosomes in a sperm cell, 23 chromosomes in an egg cell, and 46 chromosomes in a white blood cell

Explanation:

Human cells are diploid in number i.e they exists in two basic sets (2N =46, where N is 23). So, cells of human body such as blood cells like white blood cells have two basic sets of chromosomes i.e 46 chromosomes, since they are produced by mitosis.

On the other hand, cells of humans involved in sexual reproduction such as the gametes (sperm and egg) have only one set of chromosomes since they are produced by meiosis - so they are haploid (N =23).

Answer:

Sperm=23

Egg cell=23

White blood cell=46

Explanation:

During cell division Meiosis produce haploid number of gametic chromosome 23.

The somatic cell contains 46 chromosome i.e diploid chromosome number. During cell division in meiosis gametes cells contains haploid number-23 chromosome which is half of the somatic cell chromosome.

During conjugation, haploid chromosome is donated by each parent to give a diploid organism with 46 chromosome number.

White blood cell contains 46 chromosome because it doesn't undergo cell division it is a somatic cell.

“Mitosis and Meiosis I are very different, but Mitosis and Meiosis II are very similar. Therefore, Meiosis I must cause all the
eimsori [14]
Yes, I agree with statement b/c in meiosis I, specifically in prophase I the homologous chromosomes line and form tetrads in which they exhibit the act of ‘crossing over’ which allows for genetic diversity; This would not occur in mitosis as body cells are produced to repair or for growth so the division of cells must allow for the exact replication of DNA or it is not possible to repair the body or growth if there is genetic variation in each cell. Also, in Meiosis I, specifically when metaphase I occurs, it is impossible to predict how the homologous chromosomes will be split, therefore creating even more diversity of genes known as Independent assortment. None of these processes occur in meiosis II, as the exchange of DNA and act of genetic diversity has already occurred in Meiosis I, therefore Meiosis II simply has to go throwing regular cell division making it more similar to mitosis than Meiosis I; Independent assortment and crossing over are the processes that set Meiosis I to differ from the others.
