Why is it critical to divide the chromosome number in half prior to reproduction?

It is critical to divide the chromosome number in half prior to reproduction in order to make sure that there will be a balance amount of chromosome present.  There should be an equal number of chromosomes from each parent, if not, there will be some abnormalities.

It is important to divide the chromosome number into the half before reproduction because meiosis form cells that are destined to become gametes, and the reduction of chromosome number is critical because without it the union of gametes at the time of fertilization would result in an offspring, which have the double number of chromosome.

Hence, it is very important that the offspring has half the number of chromosome.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.

it's the cell cycle, but cytokines is when the cell divides.

theres 3 stages interphase,mitosis,and cytokines.

interphase prepares the cell for division.

mitosis is the process of dividing the cell,it has 4 parts interphase,anaphase,metaphase,and telophase.

lastly there's cytokines,that's when the cell divides into 2 daughter cells
