Why do we need meiosis?

• To double the number of chromosomes going into sex cells

• To halve the number of chromosomes going into sex cells

• To not change the number of chromosomes going into sex cells

Name that process

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Mutation

In Meiosis if the parent cells has 40 chromosomes, then how many will the daughter cells have

• 40

• 10

• 20
