Why do human reproductive cells (i.e. egg & sperm cells) only end up with 23 chromosomes by the end of meiosis cell division?
A. Meiosis only does part of the job of reproductive cell division, and another type of cell division has to finish it.
B. Each reproductive cell gets only half the genetic code of a complete human so that when they combine during sexual reproduction, it results in a
human with a full genetic code.
