Question

3 fill in the blank 1 point meiosis creates choose your answer... that have choose your answer... .

Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank question about meiosis, we recall the key facts of meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. Its main function is to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells in animals, pollen and ovule cells in plants). During meiosis, the number of chromosomes in the resulting cells is reduced. A normal body cell (somatic cell) has a diploid number of chromosomes (2n), meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. Meiosis results in cells (gametes) that have a haploid number of chromosomes (n), or half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. So, the first blank should be filled with "gametes" (or "sex cells") and the second blank should be filled with "half the number of chromosomes (or 'a haploid number of chromosomes')" compared to the parent cell.

Answer:

First blank: gametes (or "sex cells")
Second blank: half the number of chromosomes (or "a haploid number of chromosomes")
