Ch.11 Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction Flashcards
meiosis produces
4 haploid daughter cells
what structure is the most important in forming the tetrads
synaptomal complex
at metaphase I homologous chromosomes are connected by
chiasmata
what phase of meiosis is missing from meiotic interkinesis
S phase
part of meiosis similar to mitosis is
meiosis II
which statement best describes the genetic content of the two daughter cells in prophase II of meiosis
haploid with two copies of each gene
what is the ploidy of most types of fungi
haploid
a diploid multicellular life cycle that gives rise to haploid cells by meiosis is a
gamete
formation of a tetrad
form at the end of prophase I when the homologous pairs are only held together by chiasmata
alternation of generations
blend of the haploid dominant and diploid dominant extremes
