homologous chromosomes
In contrast to mitosis, ________ can couple up and genetic recombination (also known as crossing- over) can occur during prophase I of meiosis.
nuclear membrane breaks
The ________ down during the prophase stage of mitosis, allowing the chromosomes to condense and become visible.
Meiosis
________ is the process through which haploid (n) gametes are produced from diploid (2n) parent cells.
Prophase
________ I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I are the four phases of meiosis I.
identical diploid
Unlike mitosis, which produces two genetically ________ daughter cells, meiosis produces four genetically distinct haploid gametes through two rounds of cell division (meiosis I and meiosis II)
Genes
________ that are close together on the same chromosome are more likely to be inherited together (because to the decreased frequency of recombination between them) and are referred to as linked ________.
Meiosis
________ enables parents to transmit genetic information on to their children.
Meiosis
________ is a cell division process that occurs during gamete production.
Meiosis
________ contributes to this effort by maintaining a steady number of chromosomes in children and promoting genetic variation within the species.
