Q

Prophase of meiosis |

A

Chromosomes that already has been copied condense and become visible

Chromosomes arrange themselves in homologous pairs (each pair of homologous chromosomes is called bivalent)

Chromatid of one of these chromosomes intertwine with the chromatid of other(crossing point is called chisma)

Crossing over may occur

Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of cell and form spindle fibres made from microtubules. they attach themselves to centromeres of homologous pairs of chromosomes

The nuclear envelope breaks down

Nucleolus disappears

Q

Anaphase meiosis |

A

Q

Telophase of meiosis |

A

Chromo Arrive at opposite ends of the dividing cell

Fibers break down

In most animal cells a nuclear envelope forms around each set and nucleolus generally reforms(not happen in plan cells)

Reduction division happens. the original cell was diploid with two sets of chromosomes. The new cell is haploid

Q

Crossing over
When does it happen

A

The exchange of alleles between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis one
Happens during prophase

40
Q

What is factor Vlll
