What are the three components of the Cell Theory?

What is the difference in pyrymidine and purine in nucleotides? Which nitrogen base is in which?
The two-carbon nitrogen ring bases (adenine and guanine) are purines while the one-carbon nitrogen ring bases (thymine and cytosine) are pyrimidines.
define a homologous chromosome
a maternal chromosome with its corresponding paternal chromosome
what happens to chromosmes during interphase?
chromosomes are duplicated, so there are two identical copies of sister chromotids
what happens during prophase 1 of meiosis? four points
spindle forms and duplicated chormosmes move to poles
chromosomes condense in the nucelus
homologous pairs stick together, crossing over occurs (crossing of maternal and paternal genetic material)
nuclear envolope breaks down
what happens in metaphase 1? 1 point
chromosome pairs in the metaphase plate
what happens in anaphase 1?
homologous chormosomes split and chromosomes move to seperate ends of the pole by mitotic spindles
what happens in telophase and cytokenisis 1 of meiosis? 1 point
there are 23 duaghter cells in each cell (when it started with 46)
what is different about meiosis 1 and meiosis 2?
crossing over dosent occur
chromosomes become choromotids
four haploid cells at the end of it
