Meiosis part 2 Flashcards
Interphase 🡪
chromosomes replicate to form 2 identical sister chromatids
Prophase I:
each chromosome matches up with its homologous chromosome. This forms a tetrad (because it contains 4 chromatids).
An important events occurs in prophase I which is called…
crossing over.
Chromosomes may exchange portions of their information with their homologous pair. This produces new…
combinations of alleles.
Metaphase I 🡪
paired chromosomes line up in middle
Anaphase I 🡪
Anaphase I 🡪 spindles pull chromosomes to opposite ends
Telophase I & Cytokinesis I🡪
cell splits to
form 2 new cells, nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes
End Product:
Four daughter cells, none of which are identical, each with only half the chromatids it started out with.
