You have just come back from a three-month-long expedition in the Amazon rain forest. As you take off the hat you wore throughou

t the trip, you notice some unusual particles. Always curious, you put one of these particles in a drop of water on a microscope slide and take a look through your microscope. Having seen some cells under the microscope before, you recognize that these particles appear to be made of cells. Recalling what you have learned about cells, you marvel at the ability of these tiny things to support their life functions. You then remember that they could not easily get much bigger without drastic changes. Explain why cells are so small, considering the relationship between surface area and volume for objects of different sizes but similar shapes.

Why do sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in a organism?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Since a species' chromosome count doesn't change from generation to generation, meiosis requires that the number of chromosomes in germ cells be cut in half. Meiosis, unlike mitosis, achieves this accomplishment by requiring a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division.
