Q

chromosomes now move to the equator

chromosomes are assembled at the opposite poles as the cytoplasm undergoes cytokinesis;

each daughter cell has the haploid number of chromosomes

A

telophase I

75
Q

important event in the reductional phase in which:

  1. chromosomes condense, thicken and begin to coil up and become visible
  2. alternating thick areas called chromosomes begin to appear on each chromosome
76
Q

important event in the reductional phase in which:

chromosomes have located their homologs and have paired up to form bivalents

77
Q

important event in the reductional phase in which:

  1. chromosomes are much thicker and chromatids are now in fours called tetrads;
  2. non-sister chromatids have exchanged genetic materials in a process called synapsis
78
Q

important event in the reductional phase in which:

  1. paired chromosomes begin to disengage and move apart;
  2. the side of genetic exchange called the chiasmata move apart
79
