Question
what process is shown here?
options:
karyotype
nondisjunction
mitosis
meiosis
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is crucial for sexual reproduction as it produces gametes (sperm and eggs). The image shows the stages of meiosis, starting from a diploid cell (with paired chromosomes) and ending with haploid cells (with single chromosomes). Mitosis, on the other hand, results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Nondisjunction is an error in cell division where chromosomes fail to separate properly. A karyotype is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes.
