Important Questions on Meiosis
Why are there haploid cells in meiosis compared to diploids in mitosis?
Why does meiosis form haploid cells only?
Name the stage of meiosis after which cytokinesis results in the formation of four daughter cells.
Arrange the following stages in the order they follow.
(i) Anaphase I
(ii) Telophase II
(iii) Prophase II
(iv) Cytokinesis
(v) Interkinesis
In the process of meiosis, which stage comes just after interkinesis?
In telophase II, spindle fibres contract and split the chromosome into sister chromatids that move to opposite poles.
Write the key differences between Telophase I and Telophase II?
Mark the image that represents the telophase II of meiosis?
Write the key difference between Prophase I and Prophase II.
In Prophase II, spindle fibres contract and split the chromosome into sister chromatids that move to opposite poles.
