Meiosis Process
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Create tetrads by pairing homologous chromosomes. this is where crossing over occurs | prophase I |
| tetrads line up along the metaphase plate. this phase is when independent assortment takes place | metaphase I |
| The homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell | anaphase I |
| equal number of chromosome is observed in each of the nuclei | telophase I |
| divide the cell membrane so that you have two daughter cells, these daughter cell are now haploid | cytokinesis I |
| each of the two cells should contain the chromosome made up of sister chromatids | prophase II |
| align the chromosomes along the middle of each of your cells | metaphase II |
| separate the sister chromatids then move one sister chromatid from each chromosome to opposite sides of your cell | anaphase II |
| at this stage, you should now have four nuclei, with two single chromatids in each of the cells | telophase II |
| divide the cell membranes so that you have four daughter cells | cytokinesis II |
