  1. What are the 5 steps of mitosis?
    • Prophase
    • Prometaphase
    • Metaphase
    • Anaphase
    • Telophase
  2. What phase of the cell cycle occurs b/f mitosis?
    Interphase
  3. What 3 events occur during prophase at the beginning of mitosis?
    • Chromosomes condense & become visible
    • Kinetochores develop
    • Mitotic spindle begins to develop
  4. The 2nd phase of mitosis where the nuclear envelope disappears & the spindle fully develops is called ____.
    Prometaphase
  5. What 2 events occur in the metaphase of mitosis?
    • Centromeres are at the equatorial plate
    • Chromotids connect to 1 pole or the other
  6. What occurs during the anaphase of mitosis?
    Chromatids separate toward opposite ends of the spindle
  7. In mitosis chromosomes finish moving & nuclear envelopes form during the ____.
    Telophase
  8. What occurs after telophase in Mitosis?
    Cytokinesis
  9. What are the 2 sections of meiosis?
    Meiosis I & II
  10. What are the 5 phases of Meiosis I?
    • Prophase I
    • Prometaphase I
    • Metaphase I
    • Anaphase I
    • Telophase I
  11. What 3 things occur during prophase I of meiosis?
    • Chromosomes condense
    • Genetic material crosses over
    • Synapses align homologs
  12. Mitotic spindle starts to attach to kinetochores & nuclear envelope breaks down. Events of ____ phase of meiosis I.
    Prometaphase I
  13. During Metaphase I, Homologous prs line up in the ___ ___.
    Metaphasal or Equitorial Plate
  14. During anaphase I homologous chromosomes do what?

  15. What occurs during telophase I?
    Chromosomes gather in nucleus & cell divides
  16. What is the main purpose of Meiosis I?
    Separate homologous chromosomes
  17. When is DNA replication completed with regards to Meiosis I & II?
    Prior to meiosis beginning
  18. During prophase II what happens?

    Telophase II
  22. What are the products of meiosis II?
    4 new cells that are haploids
  23. What are the main objectives of meiosis I?
    Diploids → Haploids
  24. What is the problem w/ the end product of meiosis I?
    2 sister chromatids are formed which are duplicated chromosomal material
  25. What is the objective of meiosis II?
    Separate sister chromatids fr meiosis I
