This HD video choreographed to dramatic music is designed to provide a visually stunning and comprehensive review of the process of Meiosis cell division and ...
My textbook says that after the first meiotic division each daughter cell
has 23 chromosomes and then after the second meiotic division all 4
daughter cells have 23 chromosomes. Why does your video say there are 46 in
each daughter cell after stage 1? Is my textbook wrong?
Some technical errors in the text. They say after replication in
Interphase there are "96 chromosomes". No there are 92 chromatids. Each
of the 46 chromosomes has two chromatids. They do this again later. That
is call a chromatid a chromosome.
+Chris Albertson Chris: Actually, the video clearly states that after interphase, there are 92 chromosomes (not 96). I've explained in earlier posts that I have avoided using "chromatids" because many non-scientific references to Meiosis do not attempt to make the distinction.
