KEY TERMS MEIOSIS MEIOSIS Process in which a 2n cell undergoes successive nuclear divisions, potentially producing four n nuclei Process in which a 2n cell undergoes successive nuclear divisions, potentially producing four n nuclei Leads to formation of spores in plants Leads to formation of spores in plants

22. Meiosis Meiosis must occur at some time in the life of a sexually reproducing organism if gametes are to be haploid Meiosis must occur at some time in the life of a sexually reproducing organism if gametes are to be haploid Meiosis consists of two cell divisions Meiosis consists of two cell divisions Meiosis I Meiosis I Meiosis II Meiosis II

23. Meiosis I Members of each homologous pair of chromosomes separate and are distributed into separate nuclei in two daughter cells Members of each homologous pair of chromosomes separate and are distributed into separate nuclei in two daughter cells Chromosomes were duplicated prior to meiosis I, so each consists of two chromatids Chromosomes were duplicated prior to meiosis I, so each consists of two chromatids
