Homologous chromosomes pair up and crossing over occurs during....
Prophase I

A giraffe has a diploid (2n) chromosome count of 62. How many chromosomes will it have in each cell after each type of cell division?
Mitosis: 62
Meiosis: 31
Mitosis: 62
Meiosis 124
Mitosis: 31
Meiosis: 62
Mitosis: 62
Meiosis: 62
Answer explanation
Mitosis results in diploid cells that are identical to each other and have the same number of chromosomes. Meiosis results in haploid cells that have HALF the original number of chromosomes. So, if the parent cell has 62 chromosomes, after mitosis there will be 62 chromosomes, but after meiosis there will be 31.
