1. Meiosis is sometimes called reduction division. Why is this so?
2. How many cells are there at the end of meiosis II? (Refer to the discussion of
meiosis II if you find difficulty in answering this question)
3. If body cells of a horse have 64 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are there
in a horse sperm cell.
Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.The process of meiosis involves two divisions of the genetic material. The first division is called the reduction division – or meiosis I – because it reduces the number of chromosomes from 46 chromosomes or 2n to 23 chromosomes or n (n describes a single chromosome set).
2.Four,Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.
3.A Horse Sperm Cell Has A Haploid Number Of 32 Chromosomes.

2.Meiosis II results in four haploid daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes. However, each chromosome is unique and contains a mix of genetic information from the maternal and paternal chromosomes in the original parent cell.
