CELL REPRODUCTION: MEIOSIS Flashcards
The process of creating reproductive cells
Meiosis
Results to 4 unidentical daughter cells
Meiosis
Product is haploid so that the result would be diploid
Meiosis
Prophase I of meiosis
Leptotene
Zygotene
Pachytene
Diplotene
Diakinesis
Definition:
Lepto
Zygote
Pachy
Tene
Thin
Pair
Thick
Thread
Deals with the DNA itself
Leptotene
Chromatin begins to condense to form chromatids
Leptotene
Chromatin attach to nuclear membrane via telomere
Leptotene
Synapsis happen
What is synapsis?
Zygotene
Process where a pair of sister chromatid finds its pair as well as the non-sister chromatid
What is the chromatid of the Homologous pair?
Non-sister chromatids
Synaptonemal complex
Is a protein that did synapsis
Tetrad
Bivalent
4 telomere
2 chromatids
Crossing over happens in the non-sister chromatids
Pachytene
The daughter cells are unidentical to the parent cell because it creates variations among organisms
Pachytene
Why is the variation of organisms important?
Variation is the one that triggers evolution
