As A Result Of Mitosis Each Daughter Cell. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells developing from a single parent cell. The genome is composed of a number of chromosomescomplexes of tightly coiled DNA that contain genetic information vital for proper cell function.
Do you think this would be an equally good way of organizing the cell cycle. A diploid cell starts with 2N chromosomes and 2X DNA content. Meiosis on the other hand is the division of a germ cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes or sex cells each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
Before mitosis begins a cell makes a copy of all the DNA in each chromosome.
Another way to maintain the number of chromosomes would be to carry out cell division first and then duplicate the chromosomes in each daughter cell. Each daughter cell gets one complete set of chromosomes ie one of each homologous pair of chromosomes. In organisms that are diploid the end result is cells that are haploid. When the egg 23 chromosomes and the sperm 23 chromosomes unite they form a zygote 46 chromosomes when then forms into a stages of a fetus and then a baby.
