The answer to this question would be: 2^23
When the gene is dividing, the chromosome pair, which was made by 2 single chromosome, will be divided into two single haploid chromosomes. That means there is two kind of possibilities for each chromosome. If there are 23 chromosomes then it will be 2^23 possibilities
Answer:
Mitosis:
Mitosis has 4 stages total and produces 2 diploid daughter cells. The purpose of mitosis is for cellular proliferation. Since we only get 2 daughter cells, the chromosome number remains the same and generic variation doesn't occur.
Meiosis:
Meiosis has 8 stages total and produces 4 haploid daughter cells. In the shortest nutshell, meiosis is mitosis but twice. The purpose of meiosis is sexual reproduction. Since we get 4 daughter cells, the chromosome number is halved and generic variation does occur.
Answer & explanation:
The cell was discovered in 1669 by the English scientist Robert Hooke when looking at a piece of tissue in a two-lens microscope. Hooke was able to visualize small cavities in the experiment piece, then naming such cell cavities.
Only a century and a half after the discovery of the cell, that the Cell Theory was launched, replacing the theory of spontaneous generation (or abiogenesis).
Before that, many scientists were already busy understanding the structure and functioning of the cell, generating knowledge that became fundamental to the development of biology, specifically cytology, a branch of science that studies the structure, functions and development of cells.
