A
haploid cells as there is one round of DNA replication, two divisions
2
Q
what’s the main difference between mitosis and meiosis
A
mitosis = homologous chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate independently
meiosis 1 = homologous chromosomes are paired at the metaphase plate, these replicated chromosomes align to form a bivalent
3
Q
when does the chiasma develop
A
prophase 1
4
Q
what is a source of genetic diversity
A
recombination
5

Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telekinesis Cytokinesis Meiosis II
