Meiosis Worksheet
On the lines provided, order the different stages of meiosis I THROUGH meiosis II, including interphase in the proper sequence.
1. 4th metaphase I homologous chromosome line up in the center of the cell
2.5th anaphase I spindle fibers pull homologous pairs to ends of the cell
3. 9th Telophase II 4 haploid (N) daughter cells form
4. 1st interphase cells undergo a round of DNA replication
5.7th anaphase II sister chromatids separate from each other
6. 6th Telophase I 2 haploid (N) daughter cells form
7.3rd Prophase I spindle fibers attach to the homologous chromosome pairs
8. 8th anaphase II individual chromatids move to each end of the cell
9. 2nd prophase I crossing-over (if any) occurs

10. Compare the number and type of cells that result from meiosis vs mitosis. Mitosis 2 diploid cells, that are somatic cell (cells that are not gametes) and identical to each other and to the parent cell Meiosis makes 4 haploid cells that are gametes and are all different from each other and from the parent cell

11. How do the genetic contents of cells resulting from mitosis and meiosis differ? Mitosis are identical, while meiosis is not identical

12 If a diploid cell containing 28 chromosomes undergoes meiosis, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have? 14

Read each statement, then on the line write down the phase of mitosis or meiosis that the action occurs. IF the action occurs in both, write both. The first one is done for you

1. metaphase I meiosis homologous chromosome line up in the center of the cell
2 anaphase II meiosis ; anaphase mitosis The individual chromosomes move apart.
3. anaphase I meiosis spindle fibers pull homologous pairs to ends of the cell
4. Telophase II meiosis 4 haploid (N) daughter cells form
5. interphase meiosis and mitosis cells undergo a round of DNA replication
6. metaphase mitosis/ metaphase II meiosis (no pairs) The chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell.

    Meiosis is a two round cell division process where a diploid cell divides into four haploid daughter cells. The process is divided into two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I and II are each divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis stages. Meiosis produces gametes in animals, and spores in plants…

    Anaphase 1- During this stage of meiosis, the cell starts to lengthen. The two homologs of each chromosome pair separate and move toward opposite poles, drawn by the microtubules of the spindle apparatus. This contrasts with, where the sister chromatids of each homolog separate and move towards opposite poles. Here, the chromatids remain together as one complete, replicated chromosome.…

    Meiosis i/maɪˈoʊsɨs/ is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction which occurs or has occurred in all eukaryotes, including animals, plants and fungi, including both multi-celled and single-celled organisms.[1][2][3][4] The number of sets of chromosomes in the cell undergoing meiosis is reduced to half the original number, typically from two sets (diploid) to one set (haploid). The cells produced by meiosis are either gametes (the usual case in animals) or otherwise usually spores from which gametes are ultimately produced (the case in land plants). In many organisms, including all animals and land plants (but not some other groups such as fungi), gametes are called sperm in males and egg cells or ova in females. Since meiosis has halved the number of sets of chromosomes, when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the number of sets of chromosomes in the resulting zygote is restored to the original number.…

Each are haploid Producing Genetic Variety - through prophase I and through random assortment during metaphase I. In addition, random fertilisation also produces variety since any gamete has an equal chance on combining.…
