PNG. Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, homologous chromosomes form bivalents, crossing over occurs. What are the stages of mitosis and meiosis?
Resulting in 2 daughter nuclei (haploid) half the number of chromosomes of the parent nucleus. Biology · 1 decade ago. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes.
In comparisons, prokaryotic cells replicate by binary fission and viruses do not undergo cell.
In sexual reproduction as a result of meiosis, zygotes formed from gametes, genetic variation occurs during meiosis, and genetic mutations can occur. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes. A specialized division of chromosomes called meiosis occurs during the formation of the reproductive cells, or gametes, of sexually the homologous chromosomes are then separated to opposite poles of the meiotic spindle by microtubules similar to those of the mitotic spindle. At the level of the genes, sexual reproduction is focused on the like the usual mitosis, the first meiotic division is divided into four different stages:
