Meiosis

Question 1

Meiosis:

Answer 1

Only occurs in gametes, which are sperm and ova cells, results in four unique daughter cells that are half of the number of parent cellst that are haploid

Question 2

Crossing over:

Answer 2

crossing over occurs in prophase one of meiosis,
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Question 3

Steps of meiosis:

Answer 3

Prophase 1: nucleus breaks down, crossing over occurs,

Question 4

Metaphase 1:

Answer 4

homologous pairs of chromosomes line up at middle of cell

Question 5

Anaphase 1:

Answer 5

homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell

Question 6

Telophase and cytokinesis:

Answer 6

nuclear membrane reappears, haploid cells are created, cell membrane pinches in

Question 7

Prophase 2:

Answer 7

no crossing over, no replication but other than that same as prophase 1

Question 8

Metaphase 2:

Answer 8

single chromosomes, two sister chromatids line up in center of cell

Question 9

Anaphase 2:

Answer 9

sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of cell

Question 10

Telophase 2 and cytokinesis:

Answer 10

Nuclear membrane reforms, chromones disperse into chromatin

Question 11

End result:

Answer 11

4 genetically unique daughter cells that are haploid.
