Meiosis is the replication of what kind of cells? Sex cells - egg and sperm
The number of chromosomes in mitosis will ________ Stay the same - in a human 46 to 46 or 23 pairs.
The number of chromosomes in meiosis will ______ Cut in half. In a human, 46 goes down to 23

In this phase of mitosis, chromosomes are ripped into two. The spindles pull so hard that chromosomes are separated. Anaphase
In this phase of mitosis, TWO new nuclei are created. The number of chromosomes are exactly the same as the original cell! YAYYYYYY Telophase

In a plant cell, golgi bodies send gooo to the middle to make a new cell wall. This new cell wall is called a - Cell Plate
The reason that meiosis cuts the number of chromosomes in half is because - 23 from the egg, and 23 from the sperm makes 46! Perfect number for a human.
