Name:______________________________________________________________ Class: ______ Date: ___________ Meiosis: Questions Matching: Match each statement with the correct phase. _____ 1. Chromatin is visible during this phase. A. Interphase _____ 2. During this phase, chromosomes are first visible. B. Prophase I _____ 3. Homologous chromosomes “stick” together in a process called synapsis. C. Prometaphase I _____ 4. During this phase, replicated chromosomes become visible but they do not stick together in pairs. D. Metaphase I _____ 5. During this phase, homologous pairs of chromosomes move towards the center of the spindle as the spindle forms. E. Anaphase I _____ 6. During this phase, replicated chromosomes move towards the center of the spindle as the spindle forms. F. Telophase I _____ 7. At this point in time, homologous pairs of chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell. G. Interkinesis _____ 8. At this point in time, replicated chromosomes (not pairs) are aligned in the center of the cell. H. Prophase II _____ 9. Homologous replicated chromosomes in a pair split into separate replicated chromosomes and begin moving towards the poles during this phase. I. Prometaphase II _____ 10. Replicated chromosomes split into separate chromosomes and begin moving towards the poles during this phase. J. Metaphase II _____ 11. Replicated chromosomes finish moving towards the poles in this phase. K. Anaphase II _____ 12. Chromosomes (not replicated) finish moving towards the poles in this phase. L. Telophase II _____ 13. Scientists use this word to refer to a “pause” in between meiosis I and meiosis II. During this phase, centrosomes replicate but chromosomes do not. M. Cytokinesis _____ 14. In this event, two cells split into the final four daughter cells. N. Gametes _____ 15. These are the final products of meiosis. © Bethany Lau 2016 3 Name:______________________________________________________________ Class: ______ Date: ___________ Meiosis: Questions Answer these questions in full sentences. 16. Why is it important for DNA to replicate during interphase, before meiosis? Does it replicate between meiosis I and meiosis II? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 17. What happens during synapsis? Why is synapsis important? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 18. What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I? What would the final daughter cells look like? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 19. What would happen if one of the replicated chromosomes in one of the two intermediate daughter cells failed to split at the end of metaphase II? What would the final daughter cells look like? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 20. How many chromosomes does the mother cell have in your diagram? How many chromosomes does one final daughter cell have in your diagram? Why is this important? How are the mother cell and the daughter cells different? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ©Bethany Lau 2016 4
