What produces cells with half the normal number of chromosomes

Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 315 People

Meiosis produces cells that have twice as many chromosomes as a normal cell three times as many chromosomes as a normal cell half as many chromosomes as a normal cell the same number of chromosomes as a normal cell

Answered by admin @


The same number of chromosomes as normal cells. Meiosis is the method our body uses to replenish body cells, called somatic cells which are diploid cells, meaning that they have two sets of chromosomes. The only other type of cells in our body with differing numbers of chromosomes are gametes, which are sex cells. These cells are haploid cells meaning they have half the amount of normal chromosomes, so when an egg and sperm fuse you get the normal amount of chromosomes for body cells. Hopefully this helped!
