Question
With well labelled diagrams explain meiosis.
✓
Answer
Different stages involved in meiosis:
(a) The diploid number of chromosomes appear
(b) Homologous chromosomes pair with each other , shorten and thicken
(c) Replication has occurred and the chromatics visible at equatorial plane
(d) Homologous chromosomes move apart except at the chissmata where the chromatids have exchanged portions
(e) A spindle forms and homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends taking the exchanged portions with them.
(f) Homologous chromosomes seperated but not enclosed in nuclear membranes
(g) Spindles form at right angles to the first one and the chromatids separate
(h) Four nuclei appear , each enclosing the hapoid number of chromosomes
(i) Cytoplasm divides to form four gametes.
