  • Cytokinesis II is the stage where the cell divides into four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
  • Meiosis results in haploid gametes that contain only one set of chromosomes.
  • Crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids of homologous pairs during meiotic prophase I.
  • During metaphase I, homologous pairs line up at the equatorial plate.
  • The process of crossing over involves the exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes.
  • Homologous chromosome pair separation occurs during anaphase I, with sister chromatids remaining attached to each other.
  • The homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I.
  • Anaphase I is when homologous chromosomes separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
  • Metaphase II is the stage where individual chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
  • During prophase I, homologous pairs of chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate.
  • The process of meiosis involves two rounds of division, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells with unique combinations of genetic material.
  • Interkinesis is a brief intermission period between meiosis I and meiosis II.
  • Telophase II is where the nucleus reforms around each set of daughter chromosomes.
  • Telophase I follows anaphase I, resulting in two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent) in each daughter nucleus.
  • Homologous pairs move towards opposite poles of the cell.
  • Prophase II is similar to mitosis prophase but without centrioles or spindle fibers.
  • In anaphase I, sister chromatids separate from each other but remain attached to their respective centromeres.
  • Homologous pairs separate during anaphase I, with sister chromatids remaining attached to each other.
  • Crossing over occurs during prophase I when non-identical sections of DNA are exchanged between homologous chromosomes.
  • Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm into two cells.
  • Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid gametes from one diploid parental cell.
  • Chiasmata are formed by crossing-over events that occur during prophase I.
  • Crossing-over results from the breakage and rejoining of DNA strands between non-identical alleles on homologous chromosomes.
  • Telophase I is when new nuclear envelopes form around the separated sets of chromosomes.
  • Cytokinesis occurs during telophase II to divide the cytoplasm into four haploid daughter cells.
