Question
Independent assortment happens during which phase?
- Metaphase I
- Metaphase II
- Anaphase I
- Anaphase II
Hint:
The phase when the tetrad is present in the equatorial region of the dividing cell.
The correct answer is: Metaphase I
- Meiosis is the process of cell division for the formation of gametes.
- Meiosis is divided into meiosis 1 and meiosis 2.
- During phase 1 the number of cells is doubled but not the chromosomes while the phase 2 is similar to mitosis with the reduction in number of chromosomes.
- Following prophase 1, metaphase 1 is characterized by the sister chromatids arranging themselves in the equator of the cell. During this stage, the alleles of different genes get distributed between the new daughter cells. This is referred to as independent assortment.
