Meiosis Describe the process of meiosis I and meiosis II and what is occurring Chromosome number specifically at each phase. Haploid Explain crossing over and how it affects the phenotype in a species and Diploid contributes to genetic variation. Stages I and II (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis) Describe the role of meiosis in sexual reproduction and how it contributes to genetic variation. Formation of 4 haploid daughter cells from a diploid parent cell Compare and contrast homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids. Gamete formation Differentiate between haploid and diploid cells. Tetrad formation Describe the role meiosis plays in the formation of haploid gametes or spores. Role in Sexual reproduction Identify the functions of cell division in unicellular and multicellular organisms, Homologous chromosomes e.g. reproduction, repair, and growth. Differentiate between meiosis and mitosis and the effects of each Genetic Variation Resulting From Meiosis process on an organism. Independent Assortment of Chromosomes Describe the process of independent assortment (will be Segway to Topic Crossing Over (Genetic Recombination) XXIII) in the resulting cells in meiosis. Explain how independent assortment during meiosis contributes to Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis genetic variation. Replication and separation of genetic material Changes in Chromosome number Number of cell divisions
