What is a meiotic nondisjunction event?
Nondisjunction is when homologous chromosomes fail to separate in Meiosis I, or sister chromatids fail to separate in Meiosis II or Mitosis. This results in daughter cells with an incorrect number of chromosomes.
What happens during the first division of meiosis that does not happen in meiosis?
In Meiosis I: Separates homologous chromosomes In Meiosis II: Separates sister chromatids
What is the major focus of meiosis 1?
The major focus of meiosis 1 is to reduce the chromosome number by half. This is achieved through the processes of homologous chromosome pairing, crossing over, and separation of homologous chromosomes. Meiosis 1 results in two haploid cells with unique combinations of genetic information.
What happens to each pair of duplicated homologous chromosomes during meiosis 1?
pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination of genetic material takes place
When do homologous chromosomes separate into the daughter cells?
They are separated in Anaphase I of Meiosis I.
What happens in meiosis one that does not occur in meiosis?
the synapsis and crossing over of homologous chromosomes
What is the separation of homologous pairs of double chromosomes during meiosis?
the stage is called the "first division"
Do homologous chromosomes separate only in meiosis?
yes. in mitosis there is separation of sister chromatids
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division happens in what type of cell division?
only in meosis
What happens at the conclusion of meiosis 1?
Homologous chromosomes are separated.
How would you describe the process of meiosis?
Meiosis is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

Which is the process during meiotic cell division where there is a separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that carry genes that perform the same functions. Seperation of these chromosomes occurs during Mitosis where sister chromatids will be separated and pulled to opposite sides of a dividing cell. It also occurs during Meiosis 1 and 2 where in meiosis homologous chromosome pairs will line for the first time on the metaphase plate and be pulled to opposite sides of the cell and once again (without duplicating again) line up on the metaphase plate and be pulled to opposite ends of the cell. So the separation of homologous chromosomes happens in Meiosis stage 1 where you have a diploid organism with 4 copies of its chromatids and these homologous chromosomes (chromatids connected by a centromere) are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
