Ask Custom Question

Suppose that meiosis occurs in the transient diploid stage of the cycle of a haploid organism of chromosome number "n". What is the probability that an individual haploid resulting from the meiotic division will have a complete parental set of centromeres (that is, a set all from one parent or all from the other parent)?

  • Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

    Meiosis is the process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of gametes in animals and spores in plants. http://www.thefreedictionary.com

  • The evolutionary significance of sexual reproduction

    As you can see in these three life cycles, those of higher organisms tend to emphasize the diploid stages more than the haploid stages.

  • What are the major differences between mitosis and meiosis?

    Meiosis is used in sexual reproduction of organisms to combine male and female, through the spermazoa and egg, to create a new, singular biological organism.

  • The growth processes and life cycles of plants and animals

    Specialized cells within the diploid organism undergo meiosis to create haploid gamete cells.

  • Meiosis, independent assortment

    Sexual reproduction happen in meiosis so the steps are the same and it contributes to genetic variation just like meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes in diploid organisms.

  • The chromosome number of stage E

    -The chromosome number of stage E is haploid is diploid is alike for all different species cannot be determined -The chromosome number of stage B is haploid is diploid is alike for all different species cannot be determined

  • Meiotic Nondisjunction

    It then describes all possible outcomes if a Meiosis-I nondisjunction occurs and then does the same for Meiosis-II nondisjunction. Supplemented with a diagram.

  • Mitosis & Meiosis

    For a human cell, N=23, meaning that cells that have completed meiosis I have 23 chromosomes. True. At the end of meiosis I, the haploid cells have 23 chromosomes. 7.

  • The Different Phases of Meiosis

    It is possible for one parent to randomly contribute more dominant traits, resulting in a child that "more strongly resembles them".
    So back to the question: When does this occur in meiosis?
