Why do organisms undergo meiosis?

• to make more skin and muscle cells in their bodies
• the make gametes (sperm or eggs)
• just for fun
• all of these

What important events take place during prophase 1

II The nucleus and nucleolus disappear
IV Homologous Chromosomes pair up to form tetrads
IV Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• I only
• I, II, and III
• I and IV
• all of these

What happens during Metaphase 1?

• tetrads line up down the middle of the cell
• chromatin condenses to form visible chromosomes
• homologous chromosomes separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell

What happens during Anaphase 1?

• tetrads line up down the middle of the cell
• chromatin condenses to form visible chromosomes
• homologous chromosomes separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell

What is one event that may occur during Telophase 1?

• tetrads may line up down the middle of the cell
• chromatin may condense to form visible chromosomes
• the nucleus of each cell may reappear as two independent cells are being formed

Which of the following are true about cytokinesis?

• cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm to form two separate cells
• cytokinesis may occur at the same time as telophase 1
• the 2 new cells produced at the end of telophase 1 and cytokinesis are haploid
• all of these

How is prophase 2 different from prophase 1?

• tetrads do NOT form in prophase 2
• the nucleus does NOT go away during prophase 2
• there are NO chromosomes during prophase 2
• all of these
