Starting whith one diploid cell how many haploid sperm cells have formed after both phases of meiosis have been completed?
Haploids? We're talking about haploids? Haploids. Not diploids, we're talking about haploids. Not diploids, not the biology I love, we're talking about haploids! (Just kidding. Merry Christmas!)
Is meiosis haploid or diploid?
The parent cell is diploid. The daughter cells are haploid.
Why would deleterious mutations disappear more quickly in haploids?
Deleterious mutations can be quickly eliminated in haploids because there is no masking effect from a second copy of the gene. In diploids, the presence of a functional copy of the gene on the other chromosome can compensate for the deleterious mutation, allowing it to persist in the population. In haploids, the deleterious effects are more pronounced because there is only one copy of the gene, leading to faster elimination through natural selection.
What do 'sex chromosomes' include?
Sex chromosomes include the X and Y chromosomes which determine an individual's biological sex. In humans, females typically have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). These chromosomes carry genes that control the development of sexual characteristics.
The chromosome number after meiosis is denoted as?
The chromosome number after meiosis is denoted as haploid, meaning that the cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell. In humans, the chromosome number after meiosis is 23.
