Study Notes

Meiosis

  • Four daughter cells are typically produced by meiosis.

Tetrads Formation

  • The synaptonemal complex is the most important structure in forming the tetrads.

Separation of Sister Chromatids

  • Sister chromatids are separated from each other at anaphase II.

Metaphase I

  • At metaphase I, homologous chromosomes are connected only at chiasmata.

Crossover

  • Crossover is not a random process, and it is not the same as genetic recombination.
