Each cell undergoes this stage, producing four haploid cells, each with a unique combination of genes and chromosomes.

A type of cell division which halves the number of chromosomes.

It refers to the suspended state of the oocytes.

The

 formation

of new combinations of alleles.

They are called the paired chromosomes as they are formed by a complex with four chromatids.

Longest

phase of meiosis

The _____________________ of chromosomes, as suggested by Mendel, are based on the fact that some chromosomes inherited from the father are facing one side of the cell, while some are facing the other side.

The first stage of Prophase 1

In this stage, the new plate is rotated by 90 degrees when compared to meiosis 1, perpendicular to the previous plate.

This refers to the pairing of a chromosome during meiosis.
