Meiosis
•
BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS DURING EACH STAGE!1.What is the process in which one diploid cell produces 4 haploid cells?Meiosis2.At the end of meiosis how many genetically different cells are produced?4 genetically different cells3.How many divisions of the nucleus are in meiosis? What are they called?There are 2 divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II4.What happens in prophase I?Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down, homologous chromosomes pair up and crossover 5.What is crossing over, when does it occur, and why is it important?Occurs in prophase, one portion of each chromatid is exchanged, causes genetic recombination6.What happens in metaphase IHomologous chromosomes move to the middle of the cell7.What happens in anaphase I?Homologous chromosomes separate8.When does the cell go from diploid to haploid?Anaphase I or telophase I of meiosis I9.What happens in telophase I?Chromosomes gather at poles, nuclear envelope forms, cytoplasm divides 10.At the end of meiosis I, how many cells are there and are they haploid or diploid?2 haploid11.Do the centromeres divide in anaphase I? No12.What happens during prophase II? New spindles form13.What happens during metaphase II?Chromosomes align in center, spindle fibers attach to centromeres14.What happens during anaphase II?Centromere divides, chromatids move to opposite poles15.What happens during telophase II? Nuclear envelope forms
