Q
How does meiosis happen?
A
The cell firstly duplicates the genetic information- In the first division, pairs line up in the centre of the cell- The pairs are then pulled apart so each cell only has one copy of each chromosome and some are from the father, some from the mother- In the second division, the chromosomes line up at the centre and are pulled apart again- this forms 4 gametes each with half the number of chromosomes.
