Phases of Meiosis I
Meiosis 1
Meiosis 2
Meiosis 3
100
The first phase of Meiosis I?
Prophase 1
100
The process in which the number of chromosomes is halved (opposite of mitosis in which the number of chromosomes is duplicated)
Meiosis
100
The longest phase of the cell cycle
Interphase
100
How many new daughter cells are made during meiosis?
4
200
The preparation stage before meiosis.
Interphase
200
The number of cycles that Meiosis goes through
Two
200
What kind of cell with the half set of chromosomes?. (n)
Haploid cells
200
What is the purpose of meiosis?
To create gametes
300
The separation of sister chromatids
Anaphase II
300
The process in Meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
crossing over of the chromatids (recombination)
300
The three phases of Interphase.
G1, S, and G2
300
What type of daughter cells are made? (they contain full number of chromosomes as the parent cell/ identical to the parent.)
Diploid
400
The fourth stage of meiosis.
Telophase I
400
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs
Prophase I
400
Splitting of cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
400
Which of the two cycles of meiosis is more similar to mitosis?
Meiosis II
500
Alignment of homologous chromosomes
Metaphase I
500
Scientific name for body cells.
Somatic Cells
500
Stage of separation of homologous chromosomes
Anaphase I
500
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
