Meosis

Question 1

Interphase

Answer 1

There is only one interphase in meiosis, chromosomes and centrosomes replicate just like mitosis

Question 2

Prophase 1

Answer 2

chromosomes condence and pair together
Centrosomes move away from eachother and spindle forms
Nuclear envolope breaks down
crossing over occures

Question 3

Metaphase 1

Answer 3

Homologous pairs of chromosomes move to the center. Pairs are lined up

Question 4

Anaphase 1

Answer 4

Homologous pairs are pulled apart by spindles, sisters remain together.

Question 5

Telophase and cytokinesis

Answer 5

Homologous pairs are pulled to opposite ends

Cytoplasm and cell membrane seperate

Question 6

Prophase 2

Answer 6

Spindle apparatus reforms and attaches to kineticore of sister chromatids

Question 7

Metaphase 2

Answer 7

Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell

Question 8

Anaphase 2

Answer 8

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell

Question 9

Telophase 2 and cytokinesis

Answer 9

New nuclear envolope forms and cell splits in half

Question 10

Meosis results

Answer 10

4 haploid daughter cells

Question 11

Locus

Answer 11

The specific location on the chromosome where a gene is found.

Question 12

Chiasmata

Answer 12

Where crossing over occures during prophase 1

Question 13

3 meosis unique events

Answer 13

Crossing over
paired homologous chromosomes at metaphase plate
homologous chromosomes seperate at anaphase instead of sister
