• Anaphase
• Telophase

During this phase of mitosis I, the homologous chromosomes (example: homologous chromosomes = alike pairs) are CROSSING-OVER within which they are sharing the genetic material (DNA). This process allows for genetic diversity, which allows a person to have the same hair color as their grandparents, but not their parents.

• Interphase I
• Prophase I
• Metaphase I 
• Anaphase I

CROSSING-OVER causes daughter cells to be

• genetically identical.
• genetically different.
• angry at each other.
• lonely.

How many gametes are produced at the end of meiosis II?

• 2
• 3
• 4
• 8
