What happens through Meiosis?
D. Hope this helps ya. Meiosis “In sexual reproduction, two parents give rise to an offspring with an unique gene combination from either of them — each parent gives 1/2 of his/her genes to the offspring. A gene is a discrete unit of information on the DNA that codes for one protein, perhaps one of the many enzymes needed by our bodies. Somatic cells have two sets of chromosomes; one set from each parent. For example, in humans one set = 23 chromosomes, so our somatic cells have 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. The two chromosomes in each pair are referred to as being homologous chromosomes, so we could say that humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. The two chromosomes of each pair carry genes for the same trait (for example, eye color) at the same location, but not necessarily the same form of that gene (for example, brown vs. blue eyes). An important exception to this is the sex chromosomes, the X and Y chromosomes. Although these chromosomes pair with each other, they
