Meiosis produces haploid gametes which have the ' n ' symbol.

∙ 14y agoMeiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) in sexually-reproducing organisms. The process involves one round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division, producing cells with half the chromosome number (n). This leads to genetic variation and ensures the correct chromosome number is maintained in the offspring.
The relationship 2n to n means that one set has double the elements of the other set. For example, if n=3, then 2n=6, indicating that there are twice as many elements in 2n as in n.
2N Refers to a diploid cell or organism, in which two copies of each gene are present. Cells before and after mitosis are 2N, or diploid. Cells before meiosis are 2n, and following meiosis are 1n, or haploid.
It is true.
The phase that results in a change of ploidy from diploid 2n to haploid n is meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms, resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Simple, Meiosis reduce the chromosome number in half while fertilization doubles the chromosome number. n=chromosome number Meiosis = 2n (primordial germ cells) ----> n (sperm cell/egg cell/polar bodies) Fertilization = sperm (n) + egg (n) ----> 2n (zygote)
256 = 2n128 = n
A diploid organism have: 2n chromosome after meiosis 1, the gametes would still have 2n as DNA replication occured Meiosis 1 can be assumed to be the same process as Mitosis. after meiosis 2, the gametes would have n (1/2 of 2n), as the second meiosis would not include any form of DNA replication.
256/2 = 128 for n.
Because the chromosomes are reduced from 2n to n. From diploid( sister chromatids ) to haploid ( one chromosome ).
n * 2n = 2n2
Gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, have half the number of chromosomes (n) as somatic cells because they result from a process called meiosis, which halves the chromosome number to ensure that when combined during fertilization with another gamete, the resulting offspring will have the correct number of chromosomes (2n). This reduction in chromosome number helps maintain genetic diversity and prevents doubling of chromosomes with each generation.
