WILL GIVE MEDAL!!
Does mitosis more closely resemble meiosis I or meiosis II? Explain your answer.

shrutipande9 · Answer

its meiosis 2 because in this separation of sister chromatids occur which is very similar to mitosis..

anonymous · Answer

THANK U!!! Can you help me with some more?

anonymous · Answer

2.	What is crossing over?  When does it occur during meiosis? Why did you have difficulty modeling this element of meiosis using your “chromosomes?”

anonymous · Answer

3.what is the major difference between the separation of chromosomes between anaphase I and anaphase II?

anonymous · Answer

4.	What is independent assortment?  When does it occur during meiosis?  How did you model this element of meiosis?

anonymous · Answer

5.	Which part of meiosis, meiosis I or meiosis II, is responsible for reducing the chromosome number by half in the cell?

anonymous · Answer

i just need help with those ones

shrutipande9 · Answer

woaah woaah wait....lets start with meiosis then...what all do u know about meiosis...

anonymous · Answer

i just know that its the process by which eukaryotic organisms produce egg and sperm having half the genetic information of the other cells in the organism’s body

shrutipande9 · Answer

okay so i think u should take a look at this... http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter28/animation__how_meiosis_works.html

okay

anonymous · Answer

okay i watched it

shrutipande9 · Answer

COOL....u understood stuff? now can u try to give the ans? i will correct if u go wrong..

anonymous · Answer

well, for 2. crossing over happens in the prophase I. and its when 2 homologous chromosomes exchange Dna between abject homologous chromtdes.

anonymous · Answer

then they are no longer identical

shrutipande9 · Answer

correct:D

anonymous · Answer

ok, for 3 i have no clue/:

shrutipande9 · Answer

in anaphase 1 homologous chromosomes separate while in 2 sister chromatids separate..:D

shrutipande9 · Answer

also independent assortment is sort of shuffling of chromosomes...i am not very sure how to quote this though..:(

anonymous · Answer

ohh ok, and for number 5, is it telophase I?

anonymous · Answer

in meiosis i?

shrutipande9 · Answer

u r right...but not just telophase..the entire meiosis 1 is responsible for that...

anonymous · Answer

ohh ok, Thank u so much!!
