When does the process of crossing over occur?

How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis 1?

How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis 2? Are these considered haploid or diploid?

In humans, how many chromosomes are present in each cell at the end of meiosis 1?

What is the importance outcome of meiosis 1?

Why is meiosis important and list two reasons

In what two ways does meiosis provide genetic variation? Explain how each provides genetic variety

No pairing of homologs occur

Two divisions

Four daughter cells are produces

Associated with growth and asexual reproduction

Associated with sexual reproduction

Involves duplication of chromosomes

Chromosome number is maintained

Chromosome number is halved

Crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur

Daughter cells are identical to parent cell

Produces gamates

A synapsis occurs in pro-phase
