asexual reproduction correct answer: directing cells to divide and develop into new tissues and organs without a partner sexual reproduction correct answer: -takes more time and energy than asexual reproduction -genetically diverse offspring -requires fertilization -requires haploid gametes -mating most plants and animals produce_______ correct answer: gametes called eggs and sperm Meiosis correct answer: nuclear division that forms haploid cells Meiosis I correct answer: diploid cells divide to create 2 haploid cells, each with one of the homologous chromosomes Meiosis II correct answer: 2 haploid cells divide to form 4 haploid cells, which develop into eggs or sperm Prophase I (Meiosis) correct answer: -chromosomes condense -nuclear envelope breaks down -spindle fibers start to form (microtubules) -crossing over occurs Metaphase 1 (Meiosis) correct answer: Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to metaphase plate Anaphase I (Meiosis) correct answer: homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell Telophase and Cytokensis (Meiosis) correct answer: -chromosomes gather at poles of the cell -cytoplasm divides Prophase II (Meiosis) correct answer: -2 cells -a new spindle forms around the chromosomes Metaphase II (Meiosis) correct answer: chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate/equator Anaphase II (Meiosis) correct answer: -2 cells -centromeres divide -chromatids move to opposite poles of the cells Telophase II and Cytokinesis (Meio
