Meiosis Flashcards
Meiosis in detail (10 cards)
1
Q
Tetrad
A
A pair of synapsed replicates homolougous chromosomes
2
Q
Chiasmata
A
Indicates where crossing over happens
3
Q
Prophase 1
A
Just like prophase, but tetrads form
4
Q
Metaphse 1
A
Just like metaphase, but tetrads line up across metaphase plate
5
Q
Anaphase 1
A
Just like anaphase, but the homologous chromosomes of the tetrads separates.
Sister chromatids are still intact.
6
Q
Telophase 1 and cytokinesis
A
Same as previous definition of telophase and cytokinesis.
But a brief interphase occurs and no DNA replication occur.
7
Q
Prophase 2
A
Same as prophase but no tetrads form this time
Chromosome has been reduced from meiosis 1
8
Q
Metaphase 2
A
Same as mitotic metaphase
9
Q
Anaphase 2
A
Same as mitotic anaphase
10
Q
Telophase 2 and cytokinesis
A
Same as mitotic telophase and cytokinesis
