One question. It discusses about the specific cells in the ovary undergo meiosis to produce gametes, which are called the germ line cells; to produce gametes. Would you say germ cells are diploid or haploid? Since germ cells undergo Meiosis to produce gametes, would that imply they're haploid?
Wait. I'm having a brain fart at the moment. So, prior to Meiosis I, how many chromosomes are present in the cell (in relations to a normal human)? That amount will then double in the S Phase, and will go through reductional division, halving the amount of chromosomes present in the initial cell which has cleaved to form each of the two haploid cells. It then goes through another round of division, this time, reducing the amount of chromatids (not chromosomes really right?) by half, and you end up with haploid cells with 23 chromosomes, each consisting of one chromatid. Could someone correct any mistakes or errors I've just written? That'd be great thanks!
