MCBL - Meiosis
Meiosis I & II
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Meiosis I | Product: reduced number of homologous chromosome pairs into 2 different cells (Haploid) |
| Meiosis II | Product: four new Haploid cells |
| Prophase I | homologous chromosomes become physically attached (tetrad) (bivalent) |
| Metaphase I | line up as homologous pairs as tetrads along the metaphase plate |
| Anaphase I | we separate homologous chromosomes, Sister chromatids are still attached @ centromere |
| Telophase I/ Cytokinesis | homologous chromosomes are now at opposite sides of the poles and the cleavage furrow begins to occur |
| Prophase | DNA begins to condense (chromatin) and the nucleoli disappear; microtubules are organized/centrosomes move to opposite sides/poles of the cell. |
| Prometaphase | the nucleus disintegrates, add kinetochores on the centromere of each sister chromatid |
| Metaphase | all sister chromatids align along the metaphase plate and are attached to the mitotic spindle (fully formed) at the kinetochores |
| Anaphase | begin to separate sister chromatids. The microtubules shorten and pull to opposite sides (chromatids) |
| Telophase/Cytokensis | chromosomes are now at opposite sides of the cell; nucleus begins to reform; DNA decondenses. Cleavage furrow begins. FOR PLANTS (CELL PLATE) |
