Why there are half numbers of chromosomes in the daughter cell of meiosis cell division |
| Answer» The purpose of meiosis is to shuffle genetic information and cut the cellular chromosome number in half, from chromosomes to 23 chromosomes. In this way, when an egg and sperm cell combine during fertilization, the appropriate amount of unique genetic information from each parent. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similar ities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produce two identical daughter cells. | |
