Q

To justify that this is telephone 1 in the question we say :

A

Since each daughter cell encloses in its nucleus a chromosome of 2 chomatids

Q

Why is meiosis a reductional division?

A

Since the number of chromosomes in mother cell a and its reduced into half ( 2 chromosomes)in cell c, so the division is a reductional division.

Q

Meiosis: prophase 1

A

-Pairing up of homologous chromosomes (formation of tetrads) and the chromosomes are condensed ,visible, made up of 2 chromatids
-Disappearance of nuclear membrane
-Formation of two asters
-Formation of spindle fibers

Q

Meiosis: Anaphase 1

A

•Seperation of homologous chromosomes
•Migration of each chromosome towards the opposite poles of the cell due to polar ascension
•The chromosomal group 2n is thus reduced to n chromosomes in the daughter cells (n double chromosomes at each pole

Q

Meiosis: Telophase 1

A

•Formation of a nuclear membrane at each pole ,surrounding (n) chromosomes with 2 chromatids each
•Disappearance of asters and spindle fibers
•Constriction of the cell at the level of the median plane
•Division of the cell into two daughter cells each containing n=3 chromosomes at telophase1

Q

Meiosis: Anaphase 2

A

Q

Meiosis: Telophase 2

A

•Formation of a nuclear membrane at each pole , surrounding n single chromosomes.
•Disappearance of asters and spindle fibers
•Constriction of the cytoplasmic membrane
•Each cell is divided into two gametes
•Four haploid cells are produced at the end of meiosis

Q

Justify that meiosis is a reductional division.

A

Meiosis is a cell division where the mother cell produces haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes of the diploid one. THIS indicates that meiosis is a REDUCTIONAL DIVISION
