ANAPHASE

23
Q

grows until it joins with the existing cell membrane
separating the two halves of the cell into daughter cells; over time new cell walls form between the two daughter cells.

A

28
Q

● sometimes called reduction division
● is the type of cell division that produces gametes; cell
division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces
the number of chromosomes in gametes.

A

MEIOSIS

38
Q

● starts with a diploid cell, its chromatin contains two uncoiled spread out sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

A

PROPHASE I

39
Q

process where each chromosome pairs up with and binds to its corresponding homologous chromosome forming a tetrad.

A

synapsis

40
Q

is the group of four sister chromatids in paired homologous chromosomes.

A

tetrad

41
Q

chromosomes containing genetic information.
were inherited from each parent

A

genes

42
Q

different versions of the same gene on each chromosome.

A

alleles

43
Q

chromatids from each homologous chromosome exchange segments of alleles, also called recombination

A

crossing over

44
Q

results in genetic variety in offspring, this is why children are different from their biological parents as well as from their biological siblings.

A

crossing over

45
Q

the homologous chromosomes line up at the equator
and attach to spindle fibers from opposite poles.

A

METAPHASE I

46
Q

spindle fibers separate the homologous chromosomes
in each tetrad and pull them to the opposite poles of
the cell

A

ANAPHASE I

47
Q

the cell enters telophase one with one chromosome from each homologous pair at separate poles; however each chromosome still consists of sister chromatids.

A

TELOPHASE I

48
Q

meiosis one ends with two genetically different haploid
daughter cells, each haploid cell contains only one set
of chromosomes consisting of paired sister chromatids.

A

CYTOKINESIS

49
Q

the nuclear membrane disappears and spindle fibers fan out from the two sets of paired centrioles

A

PROPHASE II

50
Q

the chromosomes in each cell line up at the equator
and attach to spindle fibers from both poles

A

METAPHASE II

51
Q

the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate
and move to opposite poles

A

ANAPHASE II

52
Q

spindle fibers disappear and nuclear membranes reform
and cytokinesis occurs in both cells
