Your health is best served by a good mix of nutrient-dense, alkaline and acid-forming foods; ideally, you want to eat more alkaline-forming foods than acid-forming foods to have the net acid and alkaline-forming effects of your diet match the slightly alkaline pH of your blood.
In humans, meiosis produces genetically different haploid daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes that consist of one chromatid. These haploid cells become unfertilized eggs in females and sperm in males. The genetic differences ensure siblings of the same parents are never entirely genetically identical.
Half the chromosomes go to one end of the cell, and the other half go to the other end, at which point the cell splits in two. According to HowStuffWorks, human beings have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. During meiosis, which is similar to mitosis but occurs in sex cells, each new cell contains only 23 chromosomes.
