How long does it take (from enlistment to fleet) to become a Navy combat medic? I'm working on a screenplay, and in order to keep my backstory details straight I'm interested in knowing specifically whether a character who enlists in the Navy might be deployed as a combat medic in the following calendar year.
Meiosis /maÉªËoÊsÉ¨s/ is a specialized type of cell division which reduces the chromosome number by half. This process occurs in all sexually reproducing single-celled and multi-celled eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi.
However, your germ cells (sperm in males and egg in females) have half the number of chromosomes in your somatic cells (the cells of the body other than the germ cells), that is 23 chromosomes. This is because 23 from the sperm + 23 from the egg= 46 in the zygote = 46 in the adult human. This halving from 46 to 23 chromosomes is made possible by a process termed as meiosis.
