meiosis Flashcards
to learn about meiosis
This is a kind of cell division that produces haploid cells with 1/2 the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
meiosis
Cells undergo meiosis to make this
make gametes
This is the paring up of homologous chromosomes during meiosis
synapsis
The group of 4 chromatids that forms during synapsis is called a
tetrad
The paring up of maternal an paternal chromosomes (synapsis) during meiosis happens in what stage
Prophase I
This is the exchange of genetic material between arms of homologous chromosomes
crossing over
During meiosis, crossing over happens in what stage
Prophase I
during meiosis , independent assortment happens in
anaphase I
In Meiosis a 2n parent cell divides to produce
Four different 1n cells
During oogenesis, when the cytoplasm is divided unevenly so that only one mature egg is produced along with three of these
polar bodies
This is the production of mature sperm cells
spermatogenesis
The random separation of maternal and paternal chromosomes during anaphase I
independent assortment
the production of offspring from one parent without joining gametes
asexual
TRUE or FALSE
offspring from asexual reproduction are genetically identical to the parent
TRUE
TRUE or FALSE
polar bodies go on to become eggs.
FALSE they go on to die
