Meiosis

In what phase of meiosis would certain gene segments of the homologous pairs of chromosomes "crossover" and exchange genetic information? 

• Prophase I
• Metaphase I
• Anaphase I
• Telophase I

Which cells are NOT formed during meosis? 

• Sex cells
• Sperm cells
• Somatic cells
• Gametes

Two similar chromosomes that you inherit from your parents are called...

• Homologous chromosomes
• Sex chromosomes
• Sister chromatids
• Homozygous alleles
