Comment on the statement-Meiosis enables the conservation of specific chromosome number of each species even though the process per se, results in reduction of chromosome number.

The chromosome number is actually reduced in which phase of meiosis?

As the chromosome number is reduced to the half of its original number meiosis is called as

When a microspore mother cell with 20 chromosomes undergoes meiosis, each of the four resulting cell has:

An organisms has two pair of chromosomes (i.e., chromosome number) Diagramatically represent the chromosomal arrangement during different phases of meiosis II.

The number of chromosome in leaf cells of a plant, having 4 chromosomes in each of the four cells of pollen tetrad, would be

State whether the following statements and True or False. Correct the false statements: Before cell division, the cell doubles up its chromosome number.

In eukaryotes, the process of division of a somatic parent cell into two daughter cells is known as mitosis. During the M or mitosis phase of a cell cycle, the chromosomes present in the nucleus are separated into two identical sets, which eventually form two daughter nuclei. This is followed by cytokinesis. Onion root tips are most commonly used to observe the different stages of mitosis in the laboratory. Each onion cell contains a total of eight chromosomes. DNA specific stains are used to visualise these chromosomes in different phases of mitosis. Name the stain that can be used to observe the different phases of mitosis.

The number of chromosome gets "_____________" in meiosis.

The number of chromosome gets "_____________" in meiosis.

Analyse the events during every stage of cell cycle and notice how the following two parameters change: Number of chromosomes (N) per cell.
