Meiosis - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Can take up stains and can be seen with a light microscope
    - - Each member of the pair consists of two chromatids
      - Crossing over occurs
        
        Non-sister chromatids wrap around each other nd may swap sections so that their alleles are shuffled
        
        Increases genetic variation
  - - - Each one consists of two chromatids
- - - - Chromosomes are still in their crossed over state
      - Attach by their centromere
    - - Members of each pair face opposite poles of the cell
        
        Independent assortment
      - Way that the line up determines how they will segregate independently when pulled apart during anaphase
  - - - Arrangement determines how the chromatids separate during anaphase
- - - - Motor proteins drag them along the tubulin threads of the spindle
    - - Each chromosome consists of two chromatids
    - - Results in swapped areas of chromosome and allele shuffling
        
        Increases genetic variation
  - - - Motor proteins drag them along the tubulin threads of the spindle towards opposite poles
- - - - Cell divides by cytokinesis
        
        Short interphase when the chromosomes uncoil
      - Each new nucleus contains half the original number of chromosomes
  - - - The two cells now divide to give 4 haploid cells
    - - A tetrad of four haploid cells is formed
