Question

read each of the sentences that describe a phase of meiosis. place each sentence into the correct box.
homologous chromosomes pair to form a tetrad. crossing - over may occur between the non - sister chromatids.
homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell. homologous pairs separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell.
a nuclear membrane forms and cytokinesis follows. the haploid number of duplicated chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate.
sister chromatids separate and become daughter chromosomes that move to the poles. four haploid daughter cells are formed that are not genetically identical.
prophase i metaphase i anaphase and telophase i meiosis ii

Explanation:

• Prophase I: Homologous chromosomes pair to form a tetrad and crossing - over may occur between non - sister chromatids.
• Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.
• Anaphase and Telophase I: Homologous pairs separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell. Then a nuclear membrane forms and cytokinesis follows.
• Meiosis II: The haploid number of duplicated chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate. Sister chromatids separate and become daughter chromosomes that move to the poles. Four haploid daughter cells are formed that are not genetically identical.

Answer:

• Prophase I: "Homologous chromosomes pair to form a tetrad", "Crossing - over may occur between the non - sister chromatids"
• Metaphase I: "Homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell"
• Anaphase and Telophase I: "Homologous pairs separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell", "A nuclear membrane forms and cytokinesis follows"
• Meiosis II: "The haploid number of duplicated chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate", "Sister chromatids separate and become daughter chromosomes that move to the poles", "Four haploid daughter cells are formed that are not genetically identical"
