​Before meiosis begins every chromosome is copied, so the cell has four copies of each chromosome.

​resulting cells have half the normal chromosome number.

Question image

Which 2 are true of Meiosis?

1

cells produced by Meiosis have half of the number of chromosomes

2

cells produced by Meiosis have double of the number of chromosomes

3

before Meiosis begins, cells have four copies of each chromosome

4

before Meiosis begins, cells have two copies of each chromosome

​As the homologous chromosomes form tetrads, they undergo a process called crossing-over. First, the chromatids of the homologous chromosomes cross over one another. Then, the crossed sections of the chromatids—which contain alleles—are exchanged.

​During metaphase of meiosis II chromosomes line up in the center of each cell. And as the cell enters anaphase, the paired chromatids separate.

21

​The frequency of crossing-over between genes is used to determine their distances from each other on a chromosome.
A diagram like this one called a gene map can be created with this information. It shows the location of a variety of genes on chromosome 2 of the fruit fly.

high powered microscopes locate the genes

2

by studying the frequency of crossing-over events
