Question:
What happens in Meiosis [Division 1]
Author: go kysAnswer:
-Before the Cell divides, it first Duplicates its DNA, to make sure there's enough for the New Cell, so One Arm of each X Shaped, is an Identical of the Other Arm -It then Lines up in Pairs in the Centre of the Cell. One of the Chromosomes in the Pair came from the Organisms Mother, and one came from the Father -The Pairs are then Pulled Apart, so now the new Cells have only 1 Copy of each Chromosome, so its still a Diploid Cell -Remember, the New Cells will still have the Mixture of the Mothers and Fathers Chromosomes, and this is Important because Genetic Variation can then Occur in the Offspring
