ok, so basically, we are studying meiosis in our bio class, i kind of get the entire process except for the part where we start off with 46 chromosomes and end up with 23 in each daughter cell. out of my 46 chromosomes, are 23 from my mom? and our 23 from my dad? do each 46 chromosomes have different purposes? finally, when the chromosomes replicate to form homologous pairs, whats the difference between those pairs?
