If a cell has 32 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have after mitosis?
What are 32 chromosomes
Chromosomes form tetrads during
_______________
What is Prophase 1
During which phase of meiosis II do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
What is Metaphase II
What is the name of the structure formed when two homologous chromosomes come together
What is a tetrad
As a cell grows, its _________ increases more than its ____________
What is volume, what is surface area
Plants form a ________________

What is a cell plate
Why is meiosis a necessary process? Explain using human cells as your example.
What is Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells. This allows the egg and sperm to unite and create a zygote with 46 chromosomes, not 92.
