Q

What is crossing over

A

When non-sister chromatids overlaps

17
Q

Variation ensures evolution because variation ensures?

A

Survival of organisms

18
Q

Why do we need to survive?

A

So that our species will avoid extinction

19
Q

The longest stage of prophase because you have 23 pairs of chromosomes

A

Pachytene

20
Q

What does the law of independent assortment says about chromosomes?

A

Chromosomes are not able to choose on which daughter cell it will go

Chromosomes on each daughter cells are arranged independent in a random order

21
Q

Separation of sister chromatids after crossing-over

A

Diplotene

22
Q

Synapsis ends with the disappearance of synaptonemal complex

A

Diplotene

23
Q

Non-sister chromatids are connected or chiasma(ta)

A

Diplotene

24
Q

What is chiasmata?

A

Ensures the success of crossing-over so that the chromosomes would not separate abruptly

25
Q

Last stage of prophase I

A

Diakinesis

26
Q

Disappearance of nucleolus

A

Diakinesis

27
Q

Chromosomes become more tightly coiled

A

Diakinesis

28
Q

Centrosomes have reached different poles

A

Diakinesis

29
Q

Mitotic spindle begins to form
