What must happen before meiosis can begin?

Biology
1 answer:
MissTica4 years ago
6 0

Hello! Your answer is B, the chromosomes must replicate.

Meiosis is a process which takes one diploid cell (46 chromosomes) and makes 4 haploid cells (23 chromosomes). In order to do this, the DNA must divide. This is because it takes 46 chromosomes, to make 4*23 chromosomes, or 92.

We see here that the amount of chromosomes must double before meiosis. This therefore means A is incorrect, as the DNA only needs to duplicate 2 times. This also proves B correct, as the replication of chromosomes is what we're looking for.

C and D are incorrect, as they are actual processes in meiosis, meaning they do not happen before.

Hope this helps!
