What is a haploid cell? | A cell with half the number of chromosomes |
How does meiosis bring about genetic variation? | Independent segregation of homologous chromosomes Recombination of homologous chromosomes by crossing over |
What is crossing over in meiosis? | |
What is independent segregation in meiosis? | The random way in which each chromosome lines up alongside it's homologous pair |
What happens in prophase? | Chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope disintergrates |
What happens in metaphase? | The chromosomes line up at the equator of the nucleus and become attached to spindle fibres |
What happens in anaphase? | The chromatids of each chromosome are pulled and separated by the spindle towards opposite poles of the nucleus |
