The answer is meiosis. 

In meiosis, this process produces 4 daughter cells which are all genetically different to each other and their parent cell. They have only half of the chromosomes. This is because, at one point in the process before the cells divide, parent do not copy their genetic information, which ends up each daughter cells only receiving half of the chromosomes after division.

The daughter cells are also said to be haploid, and in human, these cells are usually gametes, which are for reproduction, so that after 2 of these haploid cells join together, the correct amount of chromosomes can be restored.

What heppens to blood after a person dies? How does this impact the appearance of the body?
bija089 [108]

Answer: It is no longer circulated throughout the body supplying oxygenated blood. The un-oxygenated blood turns blue which makes the body look “dusky”. Since it is no longer circulating, the blood pools in the lowest part of the body making these areas looked dark or bruised. (If the person was laying on their back, the blood would pool on the backside of the body)

Explanation:

When a person dies, the heart stops circulating blood and the lungs stop oxygenating the recirculated blood. The blood turns blue and pools in lowest place.
