This division stage packages DNA into chromosomes, the nuclear envelop disappears, and spindle formed by centrioles.
Prophase
What is a Diploid?
A Diploid is a human/body cell with two copies of each chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father (2n).
What happens in the inter phase of Meiosis?
The DNA of the chromosomes are replicated.
What occurs in Prophase II?
Chromosomes condense, but DNA does not replicate.
Snyapis
The term for paring homologous chromosomes.
What cell division stage includes these?
-Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart at the Kinetochore
-Half of each chromosome moves to each daughter cell
Anaphase
What cell division produces a Haploid cell?
Meosis
What division 1 stage includes the following?
-Chromatin begins to condense
-Synapsis aligns homlogs, and chromosomes shorten
-Coiling and shortening of chromosomes continue
Prophase I
What second division of Meiosis includes the following?
-The chromatids of the chromosomes finally separate, becoming chromosomes in their own right, and are pulling to opposite poles.
Anaphase II
Homologous chromosomes
pairs of chromosomes in a Diploid organism that have similar genes (not necessarily identical).
What occurs in Metaphase?
-Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
-Chromosomes become attached to spindle fiber at
-The nucleus dissolves
What is a haploid?
A haploid is a cell with only one complete set of chromosomes (1n or n).
What first division of Meiosis includes when Chromosome pairs separate with sister chromatids remaining together? (The homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell).
Anaphase I
What second division stage includes the following?
-Chromosomes gather into nuclei, and the cells divide.
-Each of the four cell has a nucleus with a haploid number of chromosomes.
Telophase II
What is Spermatogenesis?
The process used to create sperm.
What stage is the process that separates the genetic material in the nucleus of a parent cell into daughter cells.
Telophase (In an animal)
What is a chromosome that does not diff between males and females called?
Autosomes
What occurs in Metaphase I?
Chromosomes align at the center of the cell.
Line up chromosomes at the center of the cell?
What is the process in female that produces one egg cell?
Oogensis
the stage in a cell cycle where a cell grows,replicated DNA, prepares to divide
inter phase
What is the name of a cell produced by Mitosis?
Somatic cells (body cells)
What happens in Telophase I?
Two daughter cells form with each daughter cell containing one chromosome of the chromosome pair.
(Bonus) Why do Meiosis cells divide twice?
Meiosis divides twice because it produces a haploid cell with half the amount of chromosomes.
What are sister chromatids?
Two identical copies of the same chromosome.
