Meiosis Quiz study guide

Question 1

interphase

Answer 1

time for cells to prepare for meiosis

Question 2

prophase I

Answer 2

forms tetrads, crossing over

Question 3

metaphase I

Answer 3

tetrads align at metaphase plate

Question 4

anaphase I

Answer 4

homologous chromosomes seperate

Question 5

telophase I/ cytokinesis

Answer 5

sister chromatids remain together

Question 6

prophase II

Answer 6

chromosomes condense, and a new set of spindle fibers forms

Question 7

metaphase II

Answer 7

centromeres of the paired chromatids align along the equatorial plate in both cells

Question 8

anaphase II

Answer 8

chromatids split at centromeres and migrate along the spindle fibers to opposite poles

Question 9

telophase II/ cytokinesis

Answer 9

telophase II- nucleur membranes form around each set of chromosomes and chromosomes condese. cytokinesis- splits the chromosome sets into new cells forming the final products of meiosis

Question 10

process of crossing over

Answer 10

exchanging portions of each homologous chromosome during prophase I of meiosis. new+unique combonations

Question 11

calculating diploid and haploid number

Answer 11

haploid have 1 set of chromosomes, n.
diploid has 2 sets of chromosomes, 2n
(haploid can be found by divinding the number of diploid cells by 2)
