Document Summary

There are 23 types of chromosomes and 2 chromosomes of each type (homologous chromosomes, one from each parent). X and y are sex chromosomes: xx" represent female, xy" represent male. Sexual reproduction involves the alternation of meiosis and fertilization. Meiosis is a mechanism for diversity: the parent nucleus produces four haploid daughter nuclei, each different from the parent and from its sister. A) each chromosome replicates prior to undergoing meiosis, similar as mitosis, where chromosomes replicate before undergoing cell division. B) during meiosis, chromosomes number in each cell is reduced. Will have 4 daughter cells as a result. C) a full complement of chromosomes in restored during fertilization. Via meiosis, you produce gametes, which will produce diploid gametes. Meiosis 1 is the first division of meiosis. Meiosis 1 begins with a diploid parent cell and produces two daughter cells that will then progress through meiosis 2.
