- Q1Each chromosome comes near its replicated chromosome pair. Nucleus dissolves at this stage. Crossing Over (exchange of genetic material) occurs at this phase.Prophase I20s
- Q2The pairs of homologous chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. The centromere of each chromatid pair attaches to one spindle fibre.Metaphase I30s
- Q3Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. Note that chromatids do not separate - each duplicated chromosome still has two chromatids.Anaphase I30s
- Q4The cytoplasm divides and two new cells form. Each new cell has one duplicated chromosome from each similar pair.Telophase I30s
- Q5The duplicated chromosomes and spindle fibers reappear in each new cell.Prophase II30s
- Q6The duplicated chromosomes move to the centre of the cell. Each centromere attaches to two spindle fibres instead of one.Metaphase II30s
- Q7The centromere divides. The chromatids seperate and move to opposite ends of the cell. Each chromatid is now an individual chromosome.Anaphase II30s
- Q8The spindle fibres disappear, and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes.Telophase II30s
- Q9Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes, that have the same structure, and that pair during meiosis.Homologous chromosomes30s
- Q10Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis. This increases genetic variation.Crossing Over30s
- Q11Chromosomes (uncondensed in this phase) replicate in preparation for meiosis. At this point they are long and thing and called "chromatin".Interphase30s
- Q12Chromosomes duplicate before dividing in meiosis.Replication30s
- Q13A cell that contains only one set of chromosomes instead of the normal pair. Gametes, which are sex cells like sperm and eggs, are haploid cells.Haploid30s
- Q14A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes; one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. Most body cells (nerve, brain, muscle, skin, etc.) are considered diploid cell.Diploid30s
- Q15Male gamete (sex cell)Sperm30s
