Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the first meiotic division, homologous chromosome pairs separate, resulting in the reduction of chromosome number from diploid to haploid. This process is also known as reduction division. Sperm and egg cells are formed later in the process during meiosis II, when the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate. The joining of homologous chromosome pairs does not occur during meiosis, but rather during fertilization, when the sperm and egg cells unite to form a zygote. The cell does not become diploid during meiosis, as the purpose of the process is to produce haploid cells.
