5987123043prophase Ithe phase in meiosis where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and forms homologous pairs.11
5987123044prophase Ithe phase in meiosis where crossing over occurs12
5987123045crossing overthe exchange of genetic material between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes13
5987123046non sister chromatidscrossing over occurs between these14
5987123047metaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell15
5987123048independent assortmentthe phenomenon where homologous chromosomes align along the metaphase plate independently of one another16
5987123049anaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides17
