Meiosis I
During prophase I, the ____________
chromosomes coil up and the spindle
______ fibers
form. Then each pair of homologous chromosomes come together to
form a four-part structure called a _____
tetrad (tetra = what number? __).
4 A
tetrad consists of two homologous chromosomes, each made up of
two sister chromatids.
These 4 chromatids in a ______
tetrad are held very close and tightly
together. In fact, they are so close that the arms of non-sister
chromatids can wind and twist around each other, and exchange
genetic information. This is called ________
____. Crossing over
crossing over
results in new combinations of alleles.
The Phases of MEIOSIS
Before meiosis begins: Interphase
Before meiosis begins, what must happen to the cell’s
They must be copied/ duplicated
DNA/ chromosomes?____________________________
Meiosis occurs in sexual reproduction when 1 diploid
germ cell produces 4 haploid cells that can mature to
gametes (sperm or ova).
become _______
Prophase I
Like prophase of mitosis:
1. The nuclear
______membrane
________ disappears.
2. ________
Centrioles move to the opposite
poles and the spindle
_____ fibers
_____ form
between the centrioles.
3. _________
Chromatin condenses into sister
_________
chromatids
Unlike prophase of mitosis:
1. Pairs of homologous chromosomes
tetrads
form ______
Crossing _____
over may occur.
2. ______
Metaphase I
1. Spindle fibers attach to the
kinetochore or centromere
____________________.
metaphase
2. Tetrads line up at the _________
plate.
Anaphase I
1. Tetrads, which consist of two
homologous
chromosomes
_________
__________, separate.
Telophase I / Cytokinesis I

______envelope
_______ reappears.
______
____ disappears.
Spindle fiber
Cytokinesis the division of the
__________,
cytoplasm and the organelles
begins and ends forming two cells.
Meiosis II
The purpose of meiosis II is to
separate _______

metaphase plate.

chromosomes
into ___________.
2. Chromosomes move to the
poles
opposite _____.
Telophase II
