How are cells that go through meiosis different than regular body cells? (Select any
that apply.)
They go through mitosis first.
They have half as much DNA.
They have twice as much DNA.
They are genetically different than the parent cell.

Sagot :

  • Firstly we have to know what is meiosis.
  • Meiosis is the cell division process by which a diploid (2n) mother cell divided twice to produce four haploid (n) daughter cells.
  • Diploid cells have paired chromosomes. For example, in human, the diploid cells contain 23 paired chromosomes, i.e., 46 chromosomes.
  • Haploid cells do not have paired chromosomes. In human, the haploid cells contain 23 chromosomes only.
  • We know, chromosomes contain DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid).
  • So, if the chromosome number is half in case of haploid cells, then obviously, they have half as much DNA.
  • So, the correct option is 2. They have half as much DNA.

Answer:

2. They have half as much DNA.
