Document Summary

Reason why meiosis i is reductional and meiosis ii is equational Zygotes bring dna from two different parents into the same cell. (n+n=2n) Homologous chromosomes carry the same genes but different alleles: homologues have the same genes in the same places. Reductional division = during meiosis 1, the number of chromosomes is reduced from diploid to haploid, the resulting daughter cells from the parent cell are haploid: meiosis i cells are haploid. Its reductional division because the number of chromosomes (2n n) but the c-value is still 2c because there"s 2 dna molecules per chromosome. Equational = the amount of dna is reduced c-value but the number of chromosomes is not (n) In meiosis 1, chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid (n) In meiosis ii, the cells divide to give the daughter cells 1c the amount of dna per chromosome. In prophase of meiosis i, replicated homologues pair and recombine! Cohesin = a protein that holds chromatids together.
