Meiosis and Meitosis Flashcards
What is the key to sexual reproduction
meiosis
one diploid cell divides into
four haploid cells
how many rounds of division in meiosis
two
what involves genetic reccombination
meiosis
what increases genetic variability
meiosis
what involve the “cross over” of homologous chromosomes
meiosis
What phase does the separation of homologous chromosomes into two haploid daughter cells
meiosis 1
what phase do the chromosomes condense
Prophase 1 (meiosis)
what phase do the homologous chromosomes line up together
prophase I (meiosis)
what phase does reccombination occur
prophase I (Meiosis)
what phase do the spindles form
prophase I (Meiosis)
what attaches to the chromosomes in prophase I (meiosis)
kinetochord
what phase does the nuclear envelope break down?
prophase I (meiosis)
What phase do the chromosomes line up at the equator
Metaphase I
Are the homologous pairs still together during metaphase I
YES
