Meiosis 1 is the process of separating chromosomes (independent assortment). Independent assortment is the random assortment of chromosomes. So without meiosis, there would be no way to separate the chromosomes randomly. Hope that helps(:
homologous chromosomes separating during meiosis I
when does the duplication of chromosomes occur?
In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.
In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
The chromosomes are double (diploid) at the beginning of meiosis. By the end of meiosis I, the chromosomes are single (haploid).
mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.
The chromosomes duplicate themselves in Meiosis 1, however they don't duplicate in Meiosis 2.
Mitosis = doubling of chromosomes. Meiosis = halving of chromosomes.
The chromosomes divide.
