Question

Which of the following is TRUE of the process of meiosis?

It results in the number of chromosomes being reduced by half.

The process adds an extra twenty-first chromosome.

Meiosis results in two cells, each with 46 chromosomes.

Answer 1

the process does not add a 21st chromosome, and meiosis does result in 2 cells, but they do not have 46 chromosomes each. recall that when a parent cell is about to divide, spindle fibers pull an equal number of chromosomes apart so each new daughter cell can have the same amount of chromosomes. the answer is "it results in the number of chromosomes being reduced by half"

Answer 2
