The second phase of Meiosis I
What is Prophase I?
The fourth phase of Meiosis II
Telophase II
The process in which the number of chromosomes is halved (opposite of mitosis in which the number of chromosomes is duplicated)
What is Meiosis?
The longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
How many new daughter cells are made during meiosis?
4
The first phase of Meiosis I
What is interphase
The third phase of Meiosis II
What is Anaphase II?
The number of cycles that Meiosis goes through
What is two?
what is the purpose of the cell cycle?
to allow a cell to grow, replicate its DNA, and divide into two new daughter cells,
What is the purpose of meiosis?
To create gametes
The fourth phase of Meiosis I
What is Anaphase I?
The first phase of Meiosis II
What is Prophase II?
The process in Meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
What is the crossing over of the chromatids (recombination)
The three phases of Interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2?
What type of daughter cells are made? (they contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.Each daughter cell has only one copy of each chromosome)
Haploid
The fifth phase of Meiosis I
What is Telophase I
The second phase of Meiosis II
What is Metaphase II?
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs
What is Prophase I?
The name of the phase where DNA is copied
What is the S phase of interphase?
Which of the two cycles of meiosis is more similar to mitosis?
The 2nd
The third phase of Meiosis I
What is Metaphase I?
The fifth phase of Meiosis II
What is cytokinesis?
This symbol is placed after the name of the phase to indicate which of the 2 cycles that it is in
What is a roman numeral?
The stage during interphase where DNA is replicated
What is S phase?
This phenomenon during meiosis ensures that offspring inherit a RANDOM COMBINATION of maternal and paternal chromosomes, significantly contributing to genetic diversity. (not the same as recombination/crossing over)
Independent assortment
