Afew characteristics of a type of reproduction are shown below: 1. occurs in all body cells 2. two daughter cells are formed 3. chromosomes arrange equally on either side of the equator 4. the daughter nuclei each have half the number of chromosomes as that of parent cells 5. is necessary for sexual reproduction which of the above are characteristics of meiosis? 1, 2, and 3 1, 4, and 5 2, 3, and 4 3, 4, and 5

Option: 3, 4 and 5

Explanation:

Meiosis is the cell division that forms gametes. One parent cells forms four daughter cells each of which have half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell. During metaphase I of meiosis, chromosomes are arranged equally on either side of the equator followed by segregation of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles during anaphase I. Meiosis ensures presence of constant chromosome number through successive generation of species by formation of haploid gametes.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
