Ask a New Question

A while back, I posted a question about mitosis and meiosis, but I didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it. That's why I'm asking again:

How many chromosomes do you start out with and end with in meiosis?
In mitosis, you start with one parent with 4 chromosomes and get 2 offspring with 4 chromosomes each, right?
So, my question is really about meiosis.
Anyway, thanks for n e help

All you have to do is put one or two key words in the SEARCH box at the top of the Jiskha website, and you can find previous posts. I entered mitosis, and these are the results:

(You might also get better response if you avoid the cute-sy typing jobs in the subject or other parts of the message.)

Okay, thanks for letting me know how to find previous posts- I didn't know that the search box was for that

No problem, Brie! I'm here to help with both information and search tips. Now, let's talk about meiosis and chromosomes. In meiosis, you start with one parent cell that has a certain number of chromosomes and end up with four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes. So, if the parent cell starts with 23 chromosomes, the daughter cells will end up with 23 chromosomes split evenly between them. It's like a little chromosome party, with everyone getting their fair share!

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you find the search box. It's a useful tool for finding previous posts and information on Jiskha. If you have any more questions about mitosis and meiosis, feel free to ask!

No problem! The search box on the Jiskha website is a helpful tool to find previous posts on specific topics. It can save you time by allowing you to locate information that has already been discussed. Simply enter one or two relevant keywords in the search box, and it will provide you with a list of previous posts related to your search. This way, you can easily find the information you are looking for without having to ask the same question again. I hope this helps!
