how many times are chromosomes replicated in meiosis?
36955
During meiosis, chromosomes are replicated once in S phase (just like mitosis) into sister chromatids, but the cell divides twice. As with mitosis, the first step in this process is DNA replication, so that each of the 46 chromosomes exists as a duplicated sister chromatid.

Meiosis II begins with the 2 haploid cells where each chromosome is made up of two connected sister chromatids. DNA replication does NOT occur at the beginning of meiosis II. The sister chromatids are separated, producing 4 genetically different haploid cells.
1111863
After replication of the 46 chromosomes, the cell contains 92 chromatids (in 46 pairs). After mitosis two identical cells are created with the same original number of chromosomes, 46.

You start with 46 chromosomes (92 chromatids) and then the chromatids replicate and make 46 pairs of chromosomes which will eventually divide through the rest of mitosis making 2 daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs )?
25568
During the second stage of meiosis, the SISTER CHROMATIDS of each of the 23 chromosomes are pulled apart just as they are in mitosis, resulting in 4 cells that each have 1 copy of each of the 23 chromosomes (now unduplicated again) and are now officially haploid.

Answer and Explanation: DNA replication for a cell occurs during Synthesis Phase of meiosis. This phase is one of three during the Interphase stage of meiosis.

Meiosis takes place during gamete formation resulting in the formation of haploid gametes. If a cell has 24 chromosomes before cell division then daughter cell resulting from mitotic division will have 24 chromosomes while daughter cell resulting from the meiotic division will contain 12 chromosomes each.

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. ... During meiosis one cell? divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell – they are haploid.

Or: there are 23 unique types of chromosome in your cells (remember, we are treating the sex chromosomes as the same for simplicity). After replication of the 46 chromosomes, the cell contains 92 chromatids (in 46 pairs). After mitosis two identical cells are created with the same original number of chromosomes, 46.

Unlike mitosis, therefore, in which cells replicate their DNA and then divide once, during meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two consecutive divisions to result in up to four gametes.
251908
Mitosis and meiosis both involve duplication of a cell's DNA content. Each strand of DNA, or chromosome, is replicated and remains joined, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome. A common goal of mitosis and meiosis is to split the nucleus and its DNA content between two daughter cells.

meiosis. Mitosis allows for cells to produce identical copies of themselves, which means the genetic material is duplicated from parent to daughter cells. ... By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes.
1151212
At the end of mitosis, 2 daughter cells both have 46 chromosomes. How many divisions occur in meiosis? Two, each including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Meiosis begins with a diploid germ cell and produces a haploid sex cell (sperm or egg).
1417735
The cellular DNA is replicated during interphase, resulting in the formation of two copies of each chromosome prior to the beginning of mitosis. As the cell enters mitosis, chromatin condensation leads to the formation of metaphase chromosomes consisting of two identical sister chromatids.
82436
In humans (2n = 46), who have 23 pairs of chromosomes, the number of chromosomes remains unchanged from the beginning till the end of meiosis II (n = 23).
1307787
At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.
24952
Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. ... Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
