Meiosis
Cell division that causes the number of chromosomes in newly formed
cells to be reduced by half
Stages during meiosis
o DNA replication
o Cell division (meiosis I)
o Cell division (meiosis II)
DNA replication
Homologous chromosomes duplicate to form sister chromatids
Meiosis I
Interphase I
o DNA replicates
Early Prophase I
o Chromatids connected by centromere
Prophase I
o Paired homologous chromosomes (synapsis)
o Crossing over
Pair of homologous chromosomes one chromatid of each
chromosome crosses over (reciprocal exchange)
The point where they cross over is called a chiasma
When the chromosomes split, there are new genetic
combinations on the chromosomes
o Recombination
Metaphase I
o The chromosomes line up across the equator of cell in homologous
pairs, facing opposite poles
