Meiosis

Question 1

Process of cell division in which gametes are formed and the number of chromosomes is halved.

Answer 1

Meiosis

Question 2

Fertilized egg which has a diploid number of chromosomes.

Answer 2

Zygote

Question 3

Chromosomes replicate. Two identical sister chromatids.

Answer 3

Interphase

Question 4

Homologous chromosomes form a tetrad.

Answer 4

Prophase I

Question 5

When 2 homologous chromosomes come together, and the 4 chromatids overlap respectively.

Answer 5

Tetrad

Question 6

Homologous chromosomes line up together in pairs along the equator.

Answer 6

Metaphase I

Question 7

Difference in mitosis is that homologous chromosomes line up independently.

Answer 7

Metaphase I

Question 8

Spindle fibers attaches to the centromeres of each pair.

Answer 8

Anaphase I

Question 9

Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell. One chromosome from each homologous pair.

Answer 9

Anaphase I

Question 10

Centromeres did not split unlike in mitosis and meiosis II.

Answer 10

Anaphase I

Question 11

Spindle fibers break down. Chromosomes uncoils. Cytoplasm divides. Another cell division is needed.

Answer 11

Telophase I

Question 12

A new spindle forms around the chromosomes.

Answer 12

Prophase I
