Question

what happens to the number of chromosomes during meiosis? it doubles. it halves. it remains the same. it quadruples.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is crucial for sexual reproduction as it ensures that when gametes (sperm and egg) fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number of chromosomes.

Answer:

It halves.
