more growth and preparation for cell division.

A

18
Q

chromatin coils and forms chromosomes. The nuclear membrane breaks down and disappears. In animal cells, centrioles appear. Spindle fibers appear. Asters appear in animal cells.

A

Prophase

19
Q

The chromosomes line up down the center or equator or the cell.

A

Metaphase

20
Q

The centromere of each pair of chromatids divides and moves toward the poles of the cell.

A

Anaphase

21
Q

The centrioles and spindle fibers disappear, chromatids turn back into chromatin, the nuclear membrane forms again.

A

Telophase

22
Q

The cytoplasm from the original cell splits and forms two new cells.

A

Cytokinesis

23
Q

Chromosomes appear. Nuclear membrane disappears. Every chromosome lines up next to the pair. This pairing is called synapsis. The homologus chromosomes twist around each other to form a tetrad. This is where crossing-over, or the exchange of genes occurs.

A

Prophase I

24
Q

haploid reproductive cells

A

gametes

25
Q

The production of sperm cells.

A

Spermatogenesis

26
Q

The production of the egg cell.

A

oogenesis

27
Q

the other three cells formed in the female during meiosis.

A

polar bodies

28
Q

Reproduction with 2 parents.

A

sexual reproduction
