Q

What are the six steps that happen in prophase?

A
    • Chromatin fibres coil and condense making chromosomes
      - nucleoulus disappears
      - nuclear membrane starts to break down
  2. Protein microtubules form spindle shaped structures
  3. 2 centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the pole (help with spindle formation)
  4. Spindle fibres attach to specific areas on centromeres and start moving chromosomes to middle
  5. By the end nuclear envelope has dissapeared

Q

What happens in meiosis I I?

A

Pair of chromatids in each daughter cell are separated making for haploid cells

34
Q

What happens in prophase I?

A

35
Q

-Maternal and paternal chromosomes may end up facing either pole (independent assortment)
This leads to genetic variation

36

A

Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles
-forming recombinant chromatids
(Genes being exchanged between chromatids)
Lead to genetic variation

37
Q

What is Chiasmata?

Points were chromatids break and rejoin during crossing over

38
Q

What happens during telephone I?

A 
Chromosomes
 assemble at each point
-nuclear membrane reforms
-chromosomes uncoil
Cell undergoes cytokinesis making haploid
39
Q

What are three things that can cause genetic variation?

A
  • Crossing over
  • Independent assortment
  • genes been exchanged between chromatids
40
Q

What happens during prophase 2?

A
  • chromosomes condensed becoming visible
  • nuclear envelope breaks down
  • spindle formation starts
41
Q

What happens in metaphase 2?

A

42
Q

What happens in anaphase 2?

A

Chromatids are pulled after centromere division

Similar to mitosis

43
Q

What happens in telophase 2?

Q

Describe root hair cells.

A

-long extensions called root hairs (maximise uptake of water and minerals)

51
Q

Describe guard cells.
