meiosis

QuestionAnswer
prophase 1 homologous chromosomes condense nuclear envelope breaks down centrioles divide and spindle fibers form CROSSING OVER takes place
what is Crossing Over The process whereby a chromatid breaks during meiosis and rejoins to the chromatid of its homologous chromosome so that its alleles are exchanged
Metaphase 1 homologous pair of chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell spindle fibers attach to the centromeres INDEPENDANT ASSORTMENT takes place
what is Independent assortment homologous pair of chromosomes line up randomly at the equator of the cell
anaphase 1 homologous pair of chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles independent segregation of chromosomes being pulled happens
telophase 1 Nuclear envelope reforms chromosomes uncoil spindle fiber disintegrate
Prophase 2 chromosomes condense nuclear envelope breaks down centrioles divide and spindle fibers form
Metaphase 2 chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell INDEPENDANT ASSORTMENT takes place spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes
Anaphase 2 Centromere divides chromatids pulled toward opposite poles of the cell independent segregation happens
Telophase 2 nuclear envelope reforms chromosome uncoils spindle fibers disintegrate
what is independent segregation
what is meiosis Meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from each other and to the parent cell This is due to the processes of independent assortment and crossing over
how meiosis introduces variation crossing over independent assortment independent segregation fertilization- random gametes fuse

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
