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.
