Question

Meiosis help? Will award fan and medal!

Multiple choice:
In which phase of meiosis might you see a tetrad?
a. metaphase I
b. anaphase I
c. metaphase II
d. telophase

I'm really confused. I thought tetrads appeared in Prophase I.

Answer 1

i think

Answer 2

The chromosomes align on the metaphase plate during metaphase II in preparation for centromeres to divide in the next phase.

Answer 3

at that time they will be in tetrad

Answer 4

And that wouldn't happen in metaphase I as well? Just metaphase II?

Answer 5

In telophase I, the homologs of each bivalent arrive at opposite poles of the cell, and a new nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes. Cytokinesis then divides the cell into two daughter cells. Each of the two daughter cells is now haploid (n), with half the number of chromosomes per nucleus as in meiosis I. In some species, the nuclear membrane briefly forms around the chromosomes, while in others it does not. The cell now proceeds into meiosis II, with the chromosomes remaining condensed.

Answer 7

i think it is telophase 1
