  3. Meiosis does what?
                                                                  i.      Meiosis halves total number of chromosomes form two to one; each daughter cell receives one set of chromosomes

  7.                                                               i.      Metaphase I
    1.      Pairs of homologous chromosomes arranged at __, with one chromosome in each pair facing each pole
    2.      Both __of one homolog attached to __form one pole; those of the other homolog are attached to microtubules from the opposite pole
    • metaphase plate
    • chromatids
    • microtubules
  8.                                                               i.      Anaphase I
    1.      Breakdown of proteins responsible for __ along chromatid arms allow __ to separate
    2.      __move towards opposite poles, guided by __

    3.      __ persists at __, causing chromatids to move as a unit toward the same pole
    • sister chromatid cohesion
    • homologs
    • Homologs
    • spindle apparatus
    • Sister chromatid cohesion
    • centromere
  9.                                                               i.      Telophase I and Cytokinesis
    1.      Beginning of Telophase I: each half of cell has complete __set of duplicated chromosomes
    a.      Each chromosome composed of two __; one or both chromatids include __

    2.      __occurs simultaneously, forming two __ daughter cells
    a.      Animal cells: __
    b.      Plant cells: __c.       Some species: chromosomes condense and nuclear envelopes form
    d.      No chromosome duplication occurs between meiosis I and meiosis II: __
                                                              
    • haploid
