What unique event occurs during prophase I of meiosis?

• DNA replication

• Crossing over

• Cytokinesis

• Spindle formation

What is crossing over?

• The exchange of DNA between sister chromatids

• The exchange of DNA between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes

• The separation of homologous chromosomes

• The duplication of chromosomes

How are homologous chromosomes aligned during metaphase I?

• Outside the nucleus

• Attached to the same pole

• In a single file line

• Randomly along the metaphase plate

What happens during telophase I of meiosis?

• Spindle fibers form

• Sister chromatids separate

• Nuclear envelope reforms

• Chromosomes replicate

What is the role of spindle fibers in meiosis?

• To condense chromosomes
