1.
the stage on the first meiotic division in which sister chromatids of a chromosome split and migrate to opposite poles
2.
the stage in the second meiotic division in which sister chromatids of a chromosome split and migrate to opposite poles
3.
a condition in which non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange genes
4.
having chromosomes in homologous pairs
5.
having a single, complete set of chromosomes, or one half of each pair of homologous chromosomes
6.
pair of identical chromosomes (chromosomes that contain the same genes) from each parent, which all organisms produced by sexual reproduction receive
7.
period between two periods of mitosis
8.
the process involving the division of the nucleus in a reproductive cell; cell division in which the daughter cells have fewer chromosomes than the parent cell; responsible for genetic recombination
9.
the stage in the first meiotic division in which the homologous chromosomes line up as a pair, forming a tetrad of chromatids at the equator of the cell
10.
the stage in the second meiotic division in which the chromatid pair lines up at the equator of the cell
11.
a period in the life of the cell when it is conducting cell division
12.
the stage in the first meiotic division in which the doubled chromosomes become visible and the nuclear membrane disappears
13.
the stage in the second meiotic division in which the chromatid pair becomes visible and the nuclear membrane disappears
14.
the meiotic process in prophase I in which the tetrads line up side-by-side; initiates the crossing over process
15.
the stage of the first meiotic division when the cell divides into two cells, each containing one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes
16.
the stage of the second meiotic division when the cell divides into two haploid cells that become the gametes
17.
during prophase I, when the two pairs of chromatids of the homologous pair of chromosomes come together to form a four chromatid unit; time when crossing-over can occur.
