Question
Answer
Meiosis begins with a normal (___) cell with a ___ number (2n) of chromosomes.   show
🗑
Under normal conditions, the cell's chromosome number will become ___ (n) towards the end of telophase in Meiosis 1 (the first half of meiosis) while on its way to form gametes.   show
🗑
show Fertilization  
🗑
If the statement in #1 is applied to a mosquito, with a diploid number of 6 chromosomes per somatic cell, then its gametes would each contain ___ chromosomes   show
🗑
Don't forget about the other phases of the cell cycle, when the cell isn't dividing. Although chromosomes do get ___ during the S phase, the chromosome number doesn't change as a result of the S phase.   show
🗑
show The next generation would get too many chromosomes  
🗑
show Anaphase 1  
🗑
show crossing over, prophase 1  
🗑
show increased  
🗑
Another key event during meiosis that contributes to genetic variation is the __ __ of homologous chromosomes along the metaphase plate, supporting Mendel's 2nd law: ___ assortment of chromosomes into the gametes. Leading to more genetic ___ in population   show
