During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two daughter cells. What must happen in the original cell so that each of the daughter cells has a complete set of chromosomes? Interphase must happen so that the chromosomes are copied. 2. During sexual reproduction, two sex cells fuse to create a fertilized cell with a complete set of chromosomes. What must be true about the number of chromosomes in each sex cell? There must be 23 chromosomes in each sex cell. Gizmo Warm-up Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. These daughter cells mature into gametes, or sex cells. In the Meiosis Gizmo, you will learn the steps in meiosis and experiment to produce customized sex cells and offspring. On the STEPS tab, click Male. You are looking at a germ cell, or a cell that will undergo meiosis to become gametes. [Show More]
