Term
Interphase
I
Definition
Before meiosis begins, genetic material is duplicated.
Term
Anaphase
I
II
Definition
I Chiasmata break apart and sister chromatids begin migrating toward opposite poles.

II CHROMATIDS separate and begin moving to the poles.
Term
Telophase
I
II
Definition
I CLEAVAGE FURROW forms beginning the process of CYTOKINESIS (cell division). Resulting daughter cells are HAPLOID

II CLEAVAGE FURROW forms beginning CYTOKINESIS.
Term
Metaphase
I
II
Definition
I SPINDLE FIBERS attach to each dyad. Tension from spindle fibers aligns the tetrads at the cell equator.

II Tension from spindle fibers aligns chromosomes at the metaphase plate.
Term
Prophase
I
II
Definition
I Dyad pairs align to create "TETRADS", non-sister chromatids connect and trade sections at a "CHIASMA", a process called "CROSSING OVER".

II Spindle formation begins and centrosomes begin moving toward poles.
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
When two complete daughter cells form.
Term
Synapsis
Definition
When the chromosomes stick together
Term
Dyad
Definition
Simple replicated chromosome
Chromosome with 2 sister chromatids
Term
Tetrad
Definition
2 Chromosomes stuck together
Pair of chromosomes
Term
Crossing-over
Definition
When the chromosomes trade pieces
Term
Law of independent assortment
Definition
Chromosomes line up independently within each pair. Random placement of chromosomes within a pair
Term
In meiosis, you start with ___ ______ cell and end with _____ ___-____ _____ cells
Definition
In meiosis, you start with one diploid cell and end with four non-identical haploid cells
