16. Analyse the events during every stage of cell cycle and notice how the following two parameters change
(i) number of chromosomes (N) per cell
The number of chromosomes (N) per cell changes during the anaphase I stage of meiosis I. During this stage, the homologous chromosomes get separated and starts moving towards the opposite poles. Thus, the bivalents get divided into sister chromatids. This leads to a reduction of the number of chromosomes to half in daughter cells.
