3
Q
G2 Phase
A
Cells continue to grow in size and produce new proteins. Has another checkpoint to ensure cell can proceed to M phase
4
Q

A
Protein structure that holds the homologues together
5
Q

A
This occurs during the first phase of meiosis. Foursome of chromatids that forms when replicated homologous chromosomes align. Must be formed for crossing over to occur
