Document Summary

Produces four new cells each of which is haploid. Pairs of chromosomes of each type of n different types are split apart. This results in one set of n (half as many) chromosomes in each daughter cell. Recombination provides the raw materials for evolution (different genetic combinations of dna, and genes) Meiosis ii- separation of double stranded (sister) chromosomes which were distributed to the cells as a result of meiosis i. Stages of meiosis: prophase i- same as prophase in mitosis (disappearance of nuclear membrane and the nucleoli; condensation of chromatin. ) However new events also occur: homologous chromosomes-- a pair of chromosomes which have the same linear sequence of genes, but may not contain the same genetic information within the genes. These paired homologous double stranded chromosomes are called a tetrad ( also called four chromatids): chiasma- (cross) intimate association between two non-sister chromosomes in a tetrad.
