Meiosis

Question 0

Prophase 1

Answer 0

Chromosomes condense
Synapsis: homologous chromosomes line up and connect to each other by a synaptonemal complex
Crossing over

Question 1

Crossing over

Answer 1

Genetic rearrangement of non-sister chromatids
Chiasmata: point of crossover
Tetrad: group of 4 sister chromatids that are interacting

Question 3

Metaphase 1

Answer 3

Chromosomes line up by homologous pairs along the metaphase plate
Random lineup of pairs

Question 4

Anaphase 1

Answer 4

Each pair of homologous chromosomes separates

Question 5

Telophase 1

Answer 5

Two haploid cells form

Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids

Question 6

Prophase 2

Answer 6

Same as regular prophase (chromosomes condense, mitotic spindle starts to form, etc.)

Question 7

Metaphase 2

Answer 7

Sister chromatids align

Question 8

Independent assortment of chromosomes

Answer 8

Chromosomes line up by chance in metaphase 1 and 2

Question 8

Anaphase 2

Answer 8

Sister chromatids separate

Question 9

Telophase 2

Answer 9

4 unique haploid daughter cells form

Question 10

Random fertilization

Answer 10

Random chance of which egg and sperm are used
