So what I’ve understood so far-
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Is this like 23 pairs per cell every time it duplicates- go through mitosis/meiosis?
Mitosis- start off 23 pairs and end with 2 genetically identical cells each with 23 pairs.
Meiosis on the other hand... I think—
It start off with 94 chromosomes??? Like chromosomes from each parent is copied so 46x2?
After meiosis I- I don’t understand why it’s becomes haploid when it’s back to original number of chromosomes (I think) -46 chromosomes but a mix of both parents
After meiosis II- the number of chromosomes halve as interphase doesn’t happen so number of chromosomes doesn’t duplicate. Leaving the end 2 daughter cells with half number of original chromosomes and therefore haploid??
How can they both be haploid when the number of chromosomes in each stage are different I think I definitely messed up somewhere
