Remember that meiosis is the formation of gametes from germ cells.  Our bodies begin the process of making germ cells very early in our development, and the precursors to sperm/egg cells are in tact well before puberty.  When a woman ovulates, at the end, four of these egg cells complete the maturity stage in each cycle, but only one survives to become an ovulated egg (accompanied by 3 polar bodies).  This egg (and its complement sperm) have ONE set of chromosomes each, and upon fertilization, the zygote will have 2 copies of every chromosome, one from the sperm, and one from the egg.

The process of spermatogenesis involves multiple steps.\nwithin the wall of the seminiferous tubules, spermatigonium will split via mitosis. Each complete spermatogonium, aka primary spermatocyte will undergo meiosis. So one cell undergoes meiosis and produces 2 secondary spermatocytes. But the process is not yet comlete. These secondary spermatocytes must undergo a second meiotic division resulting in 4 spermatids which mature into sperm. \n\nSo for every starter cell, 4 sperms cells are formed at the end of this process.

Gametes are produced via meiosis\n\nThe chromosomes are seperated into two and go to their respective cells.\n\nMeiosis divides the genetic material in a normal cell if half. A normal cell has 46 chromosomes, a gamete has 23.\n\nTwo gametes combine during infertilization creating a zygot so to grow into a fetus.

If you are talking about Somatic division (mitosis) , just before division the mother cell will  have 23x2 chromosome pairs that is 23x2x4 chromatids in all. The daughter cells get 23x2x2 chromatids=23 pairs of chromosomes each. In case of meiosis, one more division leads to 23 singlet chromosomes (=23x2 chromatids) each in a daughter cell.

Fertilization.\nOr are you asking about what happens in Prophase 1 of Meiosis? Homologous chromosomes, one from each parent pair.

mitosis:the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.\n\nmeiosis: (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants) \n\nosmosis:Transmission of fluids from one cell into another; foundation of metabolism, led by the concentration of salt within a cell. Water can penetrate cell membranes, and strives to, where the concentration of salt is highest, in order to equalize the salt concentration in the body.

this was an AP Biology essay question not long ago\n\nIn mitosis ther are stages of always 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)\n\nIn meiosis in different stages it varies). Once the cell divides there are 23 chrmosomes

>meiosis (mīŏ'sĭs) , process of nuclear division in a living cell by which the number of chromosomes is reduced to half the original number. Meiosis occurs only in the process of gametogenesis, i.e., when the gametes, or sex cells (ovum and sperm), are being formed. Because fertilization consists of the fusion of two separate nuclei, one from each of the sex cells, meiosis is necessary to prevent the doubling of the chromosome number in each successive generation. An ordinary body cell is diploid; i.e., it contains two of each type of chromosome. The members of each pair are known as homologous chromosomes. An ovum or sperm is haploid; i.e., it contains only a single chromosome of each type and, therefore, half the number of chromosomes of the diploid cell. When the two haploid cells fuse, the diploid number is restored, and the plant or animal growing from the fertilized egg (zygote) has the usual diploid number of chromosomes in its cells. Just before meiosis each chromosome replicates to form two identical copies in the form of strands called chromatids joined together at a point called the centromere. In the first stage of meiosis, called the reduction division, the members of each pair of homologous chromosomes lie side by side and crossing over occurs. Each member of the pair then moves away from the other toward opposite ends of the dividing cell, and two nuclei, each with the haploid number of double-stringed chromosomes, are formed. Thus at the beginning of the second meiotic sequence, called the equational division, each cell nucleus contains one chromosome from each homologous pair and each chromosome is of two strands that are identical (except where crossing over has occurred). Then the chromosomes separate into their single strands which move toward opposite ends of the dividing nucleus. The result of meiotic division is four cells, each haploid, with one chromosome of each pair.\n\n>meiosis (meye-oh-sis) \nDivision of cells in which four “daughter” cells are produced from one “parent” cell, each with half the genes of the parent. Meiosis is a key process in sexual reproduction. In the ovaries and testes, meiosis produces a great variety of sex cells (sperm and ova), because the genes of the parent cell can be split in many different ways. The sex cells combine in fertilization to produce a new individual with the full number of genes — half from each parent. Because the sex cells come in such variety, and come from two parents, there is an enormous number of possible forms for the offspring. (See chromosomes, genetics, and mitosis.) \n\n>mei·o·sis (mī-ō'sĭs)\nn., pl. -ses (-sēz').\nThe special process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that results in the formation of gametes, consisting of two nuclear divisions in rapid succession that in turn result in the formation of four gametocytes, each containing half the number of chromosomes that is found in somatic cells.\n\n>meiosis: \nIn biology, meiosis is the process that transforms one diploid cell into four haploid cells in eukaryotes in order to redistribute the diploid's cell's genome.\n\nMeiosis forms the basis of sexual reproduction and can only occur in eukaryotes. In meiosis, the diploid cell's genome, which is composed of ordered structures of coiled DNA called chromosomes, is replicated once and separated twice, producing four sets of haploid cells each containing half of the original cell's chromosomes. These resultant haploid cells will fertilize with other haploid cells of the opposite gender to form a diploid cell again. The cyclical process of separation by meiosis and genetic recombination through fertilization is called the life cycle. The result is that the offspring produced during germination after meiosis will have a slightly different blueprint which has instructions for the cells to work, contained in the DNA. This allows sexual reproduction to occur.\n\nBiochemically

The purpose of meiosis is to form haploid germ cells.  These cells only contain half the normal number of chromosomes, which is necessary during the fertilization process.  Each parent contributes half the normal number of chromosomes, thereby creating unique DNA within the offspring.  I hope this helps.

Mitosis is the process of dividing a parent cell to make two daughter cells.\nFirst the Centrioles move to the opposite sides of the cell\nthe nuclear membrane dissolves, and the spindle fibers begin to form.(Prophase)\nSecond the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.(Metaphase)\nThird the centromere breaks up and the spindle fibers pull apart the chromosomes.(Anaphase)\nFourth the nuclear membranes begin to reform, and the nucleus is formed on each cell.(Telophase)\nFinally the cellular membrane separate and 2 daughter cells are formed.(Cytokinises)

meiosis - cell divides but chromosomes are not duplicated. the product is two haploid cells with slightly different DNA (due to crossing over of chromosomes when they line up in metaphase)\nmitosis - cell divides into two identical daughter cells. if the mother cell is diploid, the two daughter cells will be too

human cells contain 46 chromosomes\n\nthey go through a process of mitotic division that basically replicates each chromosome, the original and replicated chromosomes then migrate to opposite ends of the cells, and a cell membrane is formed, thus producing two progeny cells, division and the cycle of the cell is complete.\n\n\nmeotic division is a more complex process, but basically, the daughter cells contain 23 chromosomes, that is 1 of each pair of the 46 chromosomes is present in the daughter cell, where, whether it is a sperm or egg cell, when fused together, provide the fused cell with 46 chromosomes\n\n\n\n\nhope it helped you understand it a little better\n\nthere are however, different phases to the division process and if you like I can send you a link, depends on how much you want to know at present?

Two, one in each phase of meiosis (I and II).\nBut the textbook can tell you that, my advice is you try and understand how it works.
