Prophase I
|
Chromosomes form and each chromosome pairs with its homologous chromosome; called a tetrad – four chromatids
In a tetrad, homologous chromosomes can exchange portions of their chromatids; called crossing-over Occurs at the chiasma Creates recombinant chromatids (“recombined”) Provides genetic variation – that’s how each one of us is very different from the other Sexual reproduction creates genetic variation |
|
metaphase I
|
Tetrads line up in the middle, equatorial plane, of the cell
|
|
anaphase I
|
Homologous chromosomes separate and move away from each other to opposite poles of the cell
Each is genetically different from the original cell due to crossing-over |
