Odile struck Sunday evening near Cabo San Lucas as a Category 3 hurricane, with winds at 125 mph, the National Hurricane Center in Miami reported. It tied as the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in the Baja Peninsula, matching Hurricane Olivia in 1967, Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters said.
Here's what happens: 1  At first the cells have the same number of chromosomes as mitosis. DNA replication occurs, giving a total of 46 chromosomes (or 23 chromosome pairs) and 92 chromatids (or 46 chromatid pairs). 2  Meiosis I: In meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes separate.
meiotic recombination; mitotic recombination; MEIOSIS is essential to maintaining the proper complement of chromosomes in sexually reproducing organisms. By following one round of DNA replication with two rounds of cellular division, meiosis effectively halves the chromosome content of participating cells. Prior to the first meiotic division, homologous chromosomes pair and, in many organisms, undergo recombination. Both crossovers, characterized by the reciprocal exchange of flanking markers, and noncrossovers, in which flanking DNA remains unchanged, result from these recombination events.
