Q

Cytokinesis

A
  • The division of the cytoplasm
  • Cells separate
  • Process known as cleavage, forms cleavage furrow
  • In plants, cell plate forms

Q

Interphase

A
  • Growth and copying of chromosomes in prep for cell division
  • Overlaps w/ mitosis
  • 3 phases: G1 (growing), S (DNA synthesis, chromosome duplication), G2 (growing, getting ready for mitosis)

Q

Metaphase I

A
  • Pairs of homologs line up at metaphase plate (middle)
  • Microtubules from one pole are attached to kinetochore of one chromosome of each pair
  • Microtubules from 1 pole attach to kinetochore of other chromosome

Q

Anaphase I

A

  • One chromosome of each pair moves to opposite pole
  • Sister chromatids remain attached at centromere

Q

Telophase I and Cytokinesis

A

Each half of the cell has haploid set of chromosomes, each 2 sister chromatids

  • Cytokinesis forms 2 haploid daughter cells
  • **No chromosome replication between end of meiosis I and beginning of meiosis II because chromosomes already replicated

Q

Metaphase II

A
  • Sister chromatids arranged at metaphase plate
  • Two sister chromatids no longer identical due to crossover in metaphase I
