Study Notes
Prophase I of Meiosis
- The fifth stage of prophase I of meiosis is diakinesis.
- The point of contact between paired homologous chromosomes is known as the chiasma. This is the site where crossing over, or the exchange of genetic material, occurs.
- Crossing over is complete in diakinesis.
- The paired homologous chromosomes during diakinesis are known as bivalents.
- The point of contact between the bivalents is known as a chiasma, the same term used for the contact point between paired homologous chromosomes.
Cell death
- Cell death caused by external factors, such as infection or tumor, is known as necrosis.
