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
The reduction division that separates two hapliod complements from each other is called what?
The reduction division that separates two haploid complements from each other is called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually-reproducing organisms, resulting in the formation of gametes (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Could crossing over occur during second meiotic division?
No, tips of homologous chromosomes cross over in Meiosis I. There are no homologous chromosomes by Meiosis I.
What stage of of meiosis do homologous pairs separate?
Reduction Division
Crossing over and the separation of duplicated homologous chromosomes in the first division produce genetic variation?
true
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.
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
Why meiotic division is called reduction division?
Meiotic division is called reduction division because the daughter cells (called 'gametes') are haploid, that is, carry half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells. Gametes carry one chromosome of each homologous pair, whereas the diploid parent cells carry both.

The main results 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.
What is the number of cell division in meiosis?
2 Cell divisions. The first, meiosis I, separates the homologous chromosomes after allowing for crossing over. The second, meiosis II, separates each chromosome by splitting them by their telomeres!
What is the separation of homologous pairs of double chromosomes during meiosis?
the stage is called the "first division"
What is the process whereby genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes during synopsis of the first meiotic division?
Crossing over or homologous recombination
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division happens in what type of cell division?
only in meosis
What stage of of meiosis do homologous pairs separate?
Reduction Division
Crossing over and the separation of duplicated homologous chromosomes in the first division produce genetic variation?
true
