Phase Out
The longest phase in the cell cycle
What is interphase?
The form of DNA during the longest cell cycle phase.
What is chromatin?

The phase when crossing over occurs
What is prophase I?
The form of DNA during prophase I and prophase II in meiosis.
What are chromosomes?
The reason for using meiosis to make gametes
What is to make haploid cells (or to make cells with half the DNA)
The series of steps a cell follows during its life
What is the cell cycle?
The way that diploid cells' chromosome number is represented
What is 2N?
The phase of meiosis when chromatids are pulled toward the centrioles
What is Anaphase II?
The term describing a cell with the normal, paired DNA
