Chapter 11.4 Meiosis Flashcards
Meiosis only deals with
Gametes
Meiosis
Half # of chromosomes
Gametes
Sex cells
Homologous chromosome
Alike in appearance and type of genetic information
Diploid number (2N)
Cells that have homologous chromosome
Haploid number (N)
Half the diploid #
Phases of meiosis I DNA replication.
Prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I
Prophase I
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappears, synapsis- pairs coming together (only in meiosis) to form a tetrad
Metaphase I
Tetrad a along the equator
Anaphase I
Two daughter cells, homologous chromosomes pull apart
Telophase I
Cytokinesis
Phases of meiosis II no DNA replication
Prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II
Prophase II
Spindle fibers form
Meiosis I results in
Two haploid (N) daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell
Metaphase II
Chromatids line up on equator
