Document Summary

Chromosomes that carry genes for the same traits (eye color, hair color etc. ) are the same length and have their centromere in the same location. These chromosomes are called homologues, or a homologous pair. Meiosis results in haploid nuclei being formed from diploid nuclei. Typically during sexual reproduction in a diploid organism two haploid cells fuse restoring the diploid condition. In an organism each of the haploid cells must contain one chromosome from each chromosome pair, otherwise the resulting cell would be missing some genes. Meiosis also consists of 2 separate divisions meiosis i. As i go through this process pay attention to how the process produces haploid nuclei and divides the chromosomes such that each resulting cell has one chromosome from each pair. Cytokinesis now occurs again, may be equal or unequal life cycles alternation of generations: a haploid phase followed by a diploid phase followed by a haploid phase note difference between a spore and a gamete.
