40 views3 pages

Document Summary

Interphase (figure 13. 7: chromosomes replicate, chromosomes are uncondensed, centrosomes replicate, now each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids attached at the centromere (figure 13. 3) Just like in mitosis: these are a homologous pair of chromosomes. See table 13. 1 for terms: meiosis i, purpose: to separate the homologous chromosomes into daughter cells, daughter cells are haploid, early prophase i (figure 13. 7, chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks up, spindle apparatus forms. Synapsis occurs: homologous chromosome pairs come together, pairing called a bivalent, 2 of the homologs. Sister chromatids (two red: non sister chromatids (one red and one blue) Synapse: bivalent forms, chromosomes held together by proteins called the synaptonemal complex, crossing over, chromosomes break, but remain connected at chiasma. Independent assortment of paired homologues in anaphase i: result in 4 daughter cells whose chromosome composition is different from that of the parent cell.
