Meiosis Flashcards
1
Q
Meiosis
A
Reproduction of gametes zygote
2
Q
Prophase I
A
Parent cell’s nuclear membrane begins to disappear, spindles form
3
Q
Metaphase I
A
Chromosomes line up with homogonous chromosomes. Crossing over may occur
4
Q
Anaphase I
A
Homogonous chromosomes are separated, so one of each goes to either side
5
Q
Telophase I
A
Cell separates, cytokinesis occurs
6
Q
Prophase II
A
Almost simultaneous with Telaphase I; new spindles form and attach to centromeres
7
Q
Metaphase II
A
Chromosomes line up again, and some crossing over may occur
8
Q
Anaphase II
A
Sister chromatids pulled apart at centromeres, towards poles
9
Q
Telophase II
A
Cell separates, nuclear membranes form, cytokinesis occurs
10
Q
Interphase
A
Diploid sex cells have double the normal chromosomes necessary
