What do the phases in meiosis do?
Prophase: coiling + shortening of the DNA into rods. the nucleolus and the nuclearmembrane break down.Metaphase: chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.Anaphase: Chromatids of each chromosome separateTelophase: spindle fibers disassemble. chromosomes uncoilCytokinesis: the pinching inward of cell membrane. Cleavageis formed. Micro-filaments aid in splitting the cell.
What happens to the Nucleolus during meiosis 1?
During meiosis I, the nucleolus becomes less prominent and may disappear temporarily as the nuclear envelope breaks down to allow the separation of homologous chromosomes in the cell. The nucleolus reforms after the nuclear envelope reassembles around the separated chromosomes.
What must DNA do Before chromosomes can form?
Before chromosomes can form, DNA must replicate to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material during cell division. This process occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.
Describe some of the pieces of information that scientists discovered that contributed to the chromosome theory of inheritance?
Scientists discovered that chromosomes are inherited in a predictable manner during cell division, they observed that the number of chromosomes in a species is constant, and that specific traits are linked to particular chromosomes. They also found evidence of chromosomes segregating independently during meiosis.
DNA is packaged into structures called?
Answer:chromatin not chromosomes. :DIt Is Chromosomes Not Chromatin:]
What is the process in which homologous chromosomes wrap around each around each and exchange DNA?
crossing over
What is the process in which homologous chromosomes wrapped around each other and exchange DNA?
crossing over
What is process in which homologous chromosome wrap around each and other exchange DNA?
crossing over
What occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis?
In Prophase I: - The duplicated chromatin condenses. Each chromosome consists of two, closely associated sister chromatids. - DNA is exchanged between homologous (similar) chromosomes in a process called 'homologous recombination'. - This often results in the non-sister chromatids crossing over*. The new combinations of DNA created during crossover are a significant source of genetic variation. *at points called chiasmata (plural; singular chiasma).
What homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in the middle of the spindle during meiosis name the phase one or two?
Homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in the middle of the spindle during meiosis I in the metaphase stage. This alignment is essential for ensuring proper segregation of chromosomes into daughter cells.

List the phases of meiosis 1 and meiosis 2 and describe the events characteristic of each phase?
Interphase phase is the phase before meiosis begins, genetic material is duplicated. The first division of meiosis is prophase 1 which is duplicated chromatin condenses. Each chromosome consists of two, closely associated sister chromatids. Crossing over can occur during the latter part of this stage. Metaphase 1 is homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Anaphase 1 homologous pairs separate with sister chromatids remaining together. Telophase 1 two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair.
How is antaphase 2 in meiosis similar to anaphase in mitosis?
The centrioles move apart to opposite ends of the cell, the chromosomes become attached to the fiber connected to centrioles pulling the chromatids apart; when this is over all the chromatids line up.
What happens to the Nucleolus during meiosis 1?
During meiosis I, the nucleolus becomes less prominent and may disappear temporarily as the nuclear envelope breaks down to allow the separation of homologous chromosomes in the cell. The nucleolus reforms after the nuclear envelope reassembles around the separated chromosomes.
What happens between metaphase 1 and telophase 1?
During anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. In telophase I, the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromosomes, and the cell undergoes cytokinesis, dividing into two daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have a haploid set of chromosomes.
A new nuclear membrane is forming around the chromosomes?
During telophase of mitosis, a new nuclear membrane is forming around the separated daughter chromosomes. This process helps establish two distinct nuclei within the newly divided cells.
What are strands of DNA called?
During Prophase I, DNA is exchanged between homologous chromosomes.Meiosis begins when a cell's chromosomes are duplicated by a round of DNA replication. The strand holding the DNA is the homologs and has an exact copy know as a sister chromatid.
