Document Summary
1 nuclear division = form identical diploid 2n cells: prophase = no synapsis/no crossing over, metaphase = individual chromosomes align, anaphase = chromatids separate. 2 nuclear divisions = form different haploid n cells: prophase 1 = synapsis & crossing over - tetrads, metaphase 1 = tetrads/pairs align - independent. Assortment: anaphase 1 = tetrads/pairs separate, metaphase 2 = individual chromosomes align, anaphase 3= chromatids separate. * fusion of 2 haploid gametes = fertilization/syngamy diploid zygote. 1- meiosis in sporangia produces spores = n haploid. 2- spores do mitosis & become multicellular = n haploid gametophyte since spores already n haploid. 3- gametes fuse & produce 2n diploid zygote & grows by mitosis to become sporophyte. 4- 2n diploid cells in sporophyte -sporangia- undergo meiosis to produce n haploid spores which. Alternation of generations- alternation of 2n diploid & n haploid stages.
