13557307329Spindle fiber11
13557307330MeiosisCreates 4 haploid gamete cells from a diploid cell.12
13557307331InterphaseConsists of G1, S, G213
13557307332Prophase Inuclear membrane starts to dissolve, Crossing over occurs during this stage.14
13557307333Crossing overHomologous Chromosomes cross over each other and share genetic information. Happens during Prophase I.15
13557307334Homologous ChromosomesMatching chromosomes from mom and dad.16
13557307335Metaphase IThe chromosomes line up down the middle along with their homologous pair.17
13557307336Anaphase Ihomologous chromosomes pull apart to opposite sides18
13557307337Telophase Inuclear membranes start to form around the chromosomes19
13557307338Prophase IIAt this point the chromosomes reorganize and the nuclear membranes start to dissolve again.20
13557307339Metaphase IIThe chromosomes line up single file.21
13557307340Anaphase IIThe spindles pull the sister chromatids apart.22
13557307341Telophase IINuclear membranes start to form around the chromosomes again. A cleavage forms. Cytokinesis occurs and the two diploid cells have now divided into 4 haploid cells.23
13557307342gametesterm used to describe sex cells, sperm for males...eggs for females24
13557307343asexual reproductiona type of reproduction method that involves 1 parent, offspring identical to the parent25
13557307344sexual reproductiona type of reproduction that involves two parents and fertilization occurs between gametes, offspring is genetically different from parents26
13557307346haploida term used to describe a cell that has 1 set of each chromosome, symbol used is "n"27
13557307347diploida term used to describe a cell that has 2 sets of each chromosome, symbol uses is "2n"28
13557307348fertilizationprocess of fertilizing an egg to form a zygote.29
