Document Summary

Disjunction: the pulling apart of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1, or sister chromatids in meiosis 2. Non-disjunction: failure of homologous chromosomes to separate during or after meiosis. Failure of sister chromatids to separate during or after mitosis/meiosis 2. Meiosis: the formation of 4 haploid gametes from a diploid cell. M i: where homologous pairs of chromosomes replicate and then divide into 2 diploid cells each with 46 chromosomes. Crossing over and segregation occur randomizing the process. M ii: where replicated, crossed over, and segregated chromosomes divide ( sister chromatids are pulled apart) to create 4 haploid gametes. Synapse (synapsis): pairing of two homologous chromosomes during meiosis . Tetrad (do not bother with the term bivalent ): 4 chromatids formed during meiosis 1. Monad: a sister chromatid that has detached from it"s sister, and is now it"s own chromosome. Polar bodies: during meiosis i, during formation of the cells, the sharing of cytoplasm is unequal.
