Meiosis 1&2

Question 0

What does meiosis produce?

Answer 0

Gametes for sexual reproduction

Question 1

What is meiosis?

Answer 1

Cell division that results in the reduction of chromosome number

Question 2

What happens in prophase 1?

Answer 2

Tetrads forms homologous pairs of chromatids. Chromosomes visible. Crossing over which is exchanging of genes between the homologous pairs.

Question 3

What’s happens in metaphase 1?

Answer 3

Homologous pairs line up in the middle

Question 4

What happens in anaphase 1?

Answer 4

Homologous pairs separate. Sister chromatids still attached at the centromere. Tetrads separate.

Question 5

What happens in telophase 1?

Answer 5

Chromosomes gather at poles

Question 6

What happens in cytokinesis 1?

Answer 6

Forms two cells

Question 7

What is the end result of meiosis 1?

Answer 7

2 cells with 23 chromatids (46 chromosomes) = haploid formed

Question 8

In meiosis 2 what enters?

Answer 8

2 daughter cells

Question 9

WhT happens in prophase 2?

Answer 9

Same as 1 but NO crossing over

Question 10

What happens in metaphase 2

Answer 10

Chromosomes (made of 2 sister chromatids ) line up in middle

Question 11

What happens in anaphase 2?

Answer 11

Sister chromatids are separated and move to poles

Question 12

What happens telophase 2 & cytokinesis?

Answer 12

Nuclear membrane forms & each cell has 23 chromosomes

Question 13

What is the end result of meiosis?

Answer 13

Four daughter cells are formed call gametes and each is haploid
