Meiosis Flashcards
Interphase in Meiosis
Cells growth and DNA replication
Prophase I
Cells divide and chromosomes pair up with its corresponding homologous chromosomes
Crossing over occurs
What is crossing over?
When bits and pieces of homologous chromosomes exchange (creates new alleles)
Metaphase I
Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase I
Homologous pairs separate and go to opposite ends of the cell
Telophase/ Cytokinesis I
Chromosomes cluster and a nuclear membrane forms
Cytokinesis forms 2 new cells
Prophase II
Their chromosomes with their chromatids become visible
Metaphase II
Chromosomes line up on the center of the cell
Anaphase II
Chromatids separate and goes to opposite ends
Telophase II
Cell Membrane forms
Cytokinesis II
Cell Wall forms (Plants)
