Meiosis Flashcards
(10 cards)
1
Q
Prophase 1
A
Chromosomes become visible, homologous chromosomes pair, and sister chromatids become apparent. Recombination takes place.
2
Q
Metaphase 1
A
Paired chromosomes align at equator of cell.
3
Q
Anaphase 1
A
Paired homologous chromosomes separate. Members of each chromosome pair move to opposite sides.
4
Q
Telophase 1
A
Chromosomes uncoil, become dispersed.
5
Q
Cytokinesis
A
Cytoplasm divides, forming two cells.
6
Q
Prophase 2
A
Chromosomes re-coil, shorten.
7
Q
Metaphase 2
A
Unpaired chromosomes become aligned at equator of cell.
8
Q
Anaphase 2
A
Centromeres separate. Daughter chromosomes, which were sister chromatids, pull apart.
9
Q
Telophase 2
A
Chromosomes uncoil, nuclear envelope re-forms. Meiosis ends.
10
Q
Cytokinesis
A
The cytoplasm divides, forming daughter cells.
