Why do gametes contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells?

Explanation:

This is because meoisis division occurs in gamates which are sperm cell and egg cell . And in meoisis division the number of chromosomes for the daughter cells is half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell have. This is because when there is a fussion of male and female sex cells ,the zygote which is the daughter cell should have the 46 chromosomes which is the normal chromosomes for humans and when this chromosomes are in pairs then they should be in 23 pairs of chromosomes which are haploid and later be used for another cycle when the person matures and ready to reproduce

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
