Detailed explanation-1: -In part, this was the case because Mendel studied seven genes, and the pea plant has seven chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, each cell in the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total chromosomes). Half come from the mother; the other half come from the father. Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine your sex as male or female when you are born.
Detailed explanation-3: -To accomplish this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis, involves a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.
