Which cell division of eukaryotic cells cuts the amount of DNA in half to elicit sexual reproduction?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The cell division of eukaryotic cells that cuts the amount of DNA in half to elicit sexual reproduction is meiosis. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Meiosis I: This is the first division in meiosis where homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Meiosis II: Following meiosis I, the two daughter cells undergo a second division similar to mitosis, where the sister chromatids are separated, leading to four non-identical daughter cells with half the original number of chromosomes. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Meiosis ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Meiosis is the process in eukaryotic cells that reduces the chromosome number by half through two successive divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II, resulting in the production of gametes or spores for sexual reproduction. ⚹◊How is meiosis different from mitosis in terms of DNA content?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
