Name the stage of meiosis at which homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalent. State whether the stage is during the division I or division II
Name the stage of meiosis at which crossing over between chromatids of homologous chromosomes takes place. State whether the stage is during the division I or division II
Name the stage of meiosis at which homologous chromosomes separates. State whether the stage is during the division I or division II
Name the stage of meiosis at which centromeres split and chromatids separate. State whether the stage is during the division I or division II
Name the stage of meiosis at which haploid nuclei are first formed. State whether the stage is during the division I or division II
A cell with three sets of chromosomes is said to be triploid, 3n. A cell with four sets of chromosomes is said to be tetraploid, 4n. Could meiosis take place in a 3n or a 4n cell? Explain.
A diploid (2n) chromosome number of Drosophila is 8. Copy and complete the table given below to show the different outcomes of the mitotic and meiotic division of a Drosophila cell.
| Mitosis | Meiosis | |
