Choose the phase of meiosis in column 2 that best matches each event in column 1. - one haploid set of replicated chromosomes at each spindle pole - genetic recombination events take place - shortest stage - aligning of bivalents in the center of a spindle - one haploid set of unreplicated chromosomes at each spindle pole - aligning of monovalents in the center of a spindle - separation of homologous chromosomes - separation of sister chromatids A. telophase II B. anaphase I C. metaphase I D. prophase II E. anaphase II F. telophase I G. metaphase II H. prophase I

H. prophase I → genetic recombination events take place

C. metaphase I → aligning of bivalents in the center of a spindle

B. anaphase I → separation of homologous chromosomes

F. telophase I → one haploid set of replicated chromosomes at each spindle pole

D. prophase II → shortest stage

G. metaphase II → aligning of monovalents in the center of a spindle

E. anaphase II → separation of sister chromatids

A. telophase II → one haploid set of unreplicated chromosomes at each spindle pole

Explanation:

Through the process of Meiosis, a diploid germ cell (2n) divides and originates four daughter cells with a haploid chromosome number (n). Each daughter cell has half of the chromosomes of the original one. Meiosis is completed in two phases. During the first phase, and after replication, occurs the chromosome´s reduction division. During the second phase, the cell suffers a new, not reductive division.

1. In the first phase, Meiosis I:

2. In the second phase, Meiosis II:

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.

the cladogram shown here shows similarities and differences among several classes of vertebrates. anatomically, the four have limb structure as their common ancestor. we might separate the mammals from the other three classes because they a) divergent; do not lay eggs b) identical; are warm-blooded c) varied; a four chambered heart d) homologous; have mammary glands
