What is meiosis?
Back
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes. It consists of two rounds of division: meiosis I and meiosis II.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the main purpose of meiosis?
Back
The main purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) for sexual reproduction, ensuring genetic diversity through recombination and independent assortment.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are gametes?
Back
Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that contain half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells, allowing for genetic variation when they fuse during fertilization.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens during crossing-over?
Back
Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis, leading to genetic variation in the resulting gametes.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids?
Back
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes (one from each parent) that have the same genes but may have different alleles. Sister chromatids are identical copies of a single chromosome, formed during DNA replication.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What occurs during anaphase I of meiosis?
Back
During anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, reducing the chromosome number by half.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is independent assortment?
Back
Independent assortment is the random distribution of homologous chromosome pairs during meiosis, leading to genetic variation in gametes.
