8196922055ovariesmeiosis occurs in this organ in females9
8196922056testesmeiosis occurs in this organ in males10
8196922057prophase Ithe phase in meiosis where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and forms homologous pairs.11
8196922058prophase Ithe phase in meiosis where crossing over occurs12
8196922059crossing overthe exchange of genetic material between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes13
8196922060non sister chromatidscrossing over occurs between these14
8196922061metaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell15
8196922062independent assortmentthe phenomenon where homologous chromosomes align along the metaphase plate independently of one another16
8196922063anaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides17
