Why does meiosis produce cells with half the chromosomes

Biology
2 answers:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because it has a double division, it's like a double mitosis process

Explanation:

As you can see in the image below, meiosis has a larger process than mitosis, and it results in 4 new cells. Actually, the first part of the process is very similar to mitosis, but the next part is the second division and thats the moment when new cells result just with half chromosomes.

In fact, meiosis is the reproduction process of sexual cells, and these cells need to have just half chromosome, because when a fetus is formed by an ovule and a spermatozoon (both of them just with half chromosomes) the genetic information is gonna be complete and not duplicated.

What part of DNA determines traits?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The traits of a living thing depend on the complex mixture of interacting components inside it. Proteins do much of the chemical work inside cells, so they largely determine what those traits are. But those proteins owe their existence to the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), so that is where we must look for the answer.

this involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

<u>Succession  </u>involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

Further Explanation:

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.

Plant cell have chloroplasts
gavmur [86]

Yes, they do. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll (aka green pigment) and is where photosynthesis takes place. Animals obviously don't photosynthesize, which is how you can remember that animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
