Biology Revision

The process of meiosis isn't easy, makes me queasy. Words like genes, Alleles and locus Makes it difficult to focus.

Meiosis forms 4 nuclei - 4 daughters: (please don't ask me why they call them that) the girls have half the chromosomes of mum slash dad.

It's needed, as in Reproduction gametes fuse to create offspring. And if these gametes have full sets of chromosomes (we're not done yet)

The produced cell would end with twice the chromosomes (which isn't nice) of mum slash dad but don't be sad! Meiosis halves the chromosomes And keeps the numbers low.

Each diploid cell (we're doing well) of everything has chromosomes from dad and mum two sets, not one … In humans this means 92 chromosomes for me and you.

Meiosis separates the pairs (which isn't fair) so only one can come into the gamete. Sweet! This is the haploid number. In humans this is 23, chromosome pairs for you and me.
