|
|
place where crossing over has occurred

chiasma (plural chiasmata)
|
|
during metaphase I, homologous pairs line up at the metaphase plate. it's totally random which homolog is on which side of the equator. this random lineup is called ___
|
independent assortment
|
|
after telophase I and cytokinesis, is each new cell diploid or haploid? duplicated state?
|
in each of the 2 new cells, there are 23 chromosomes in the duplicated state, so they're haploid

is this telophase (mitosis), telophase I, or telophase II? |
telophase (mitosis) and telophase II
|
|
true/false?
the spindle from meiosis I is recycled in meiosis II. |
false-a totally new one is made
