16
Q

In humans, complete the sexual maturity.

17
Q

Used for growth, repair and asexual pre-production.

18
Q

Used for sexual reproduction, producing new gene combination.

19
Q

Synapsis and crossing over.

A

Early Prophase I

20
Q

Chromosome condense and become visible.
Nuclear envelope fragments
Spindle fibers attached to chromosomes.

A

Late Prophase I

21
Q

Paired homologous chromosomes align along equator of the cell.

22
Q

Homologous chromosomes separate to opposite poles of the cell.

23
Q

Nuclear envelope partially assemble around chromosomes.
Spindle disappears
Cytokinesis divides into two.

24
Q

Spindle forms and fibers attached to both chromosomes.

25
Chromosomes align along equator of the cell.
Metaphase II
26
Sister chromatids separate to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase II
27
Nuclear envelopes assemble around two daughter cells. Chromosome decondense Spindle disappears Cytokinesis divides cells
Telophase II
28
The fate of a gene in one chromosome is not influenced by a gene on a different chromosomes.
Independent Assortment
29
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that results in recombinant chromosomes. Occurs in prophase I.
Chromosomal Cross Over
