The meiotic cell cycle involves_______ number of cell divisions and _______ number of DNA replications .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The meiotic cell cycle involves two cell divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) but only one DNA replication. This is because in meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic information through crossing over, resulting in genetic variation, while in meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
