Meosis

Question 1

process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.

Answer 1

Meosis

Question 2

Errors in meosis can lead to the wrong number of chromosomes ending as a germ cell, this is called

Answer 2

Aneuploidy

Question 3

He described the fusion egg and sperm in the transparent sea urchin egg in 1876

Answer 3

Oskar Hertwig

Question 4

process of cell division in which the numbers of chromosomes are produced by half through separation of homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells.

Answer 4

Meosis

Question 5

chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material

Answer 5

Prophase I

Question 6

chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Forming synapsis.

Answer 6

Metaphase I

Question 7

separates homologous pairs

Answer 7

Anaphase I

Question 8

forms two new cells with a haploid number of chromosomes

Answer 8

Telophase I

Question 9

A meotic recombination or a process allows genetic shuffling of the characteristics of the two parents, creating an almost infinite variety of possible combinations

Answer 9

Crossing over

Question 10

This phase where the homologous chromosomes pair separate or move along to the spindle fibers to opposite poles

Answer 10

Anaphase 1

Question 11

This is where the cell pinches and divide

Answer 11

Telophase 1

Question 12

The phase where chromatids split up at the centromere and migrate along the spindle fibers to opposite poles

Answer 12

Anaphase II

Question 13

The phase where the cells pinch and divide again. The final outcome will be four cell.

Answer 13

Telophase II

Question 14

The shuffling process happened in what phase?

Answer 14

Metaphase I

Question 15

Each chromosomes are composed of two sister chromatids by a centromere

Answer 15

Dyad

Question 16

One homologous chromosomes is composed of four sister chromatids called

Answer 16

Tetrad
