Random alignment of homologous pairs during this phase is the basis of independent assortment.
Awesome! Diagram 3 is the basis of independent assortment.

Way to go! Homologous pairs are pulled apart during anaphase 1, represented by “4.”

DNA replication. Single chromosomes become sister chromatids.
Yes! “1” is interphase 1, which is when DNA replication occurs.
HINT: Meiosis begins just like mitosis, with DNA replication. That would have to be happening where?

Process that creates haploid gametes.
Nice! “3” represents meiosis.
HINT: Meiosis is the process by which haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) are made. These cells are shown at 4a and 4b.
Haploid female gamete
Good work. “4a” represents the haploid ovum, or female gamete.
HINT: Trace the line from the mother (at 1a) up to the sex cell that she creates.
Haploid male gamete
Exactly: The sperm cell at “4b” is the haploid male gamete.
HINT: Find the father, and trace the line up to the sperm cell he creates.
Restores chromosome number from haploid to diploid.
Excellent. Fertilization (at 5) restores the diploid chromosome number.
HINT: You’re looking for fertilization, the process through which sperm and egg cells combine to create a fertilized egg.
Diploid zygote
Awesome. “6” is the diploid zygote.
HINT: Fertilization leads to a diploid zygote. That zygote develops into an adult.
Mitosis and development
Yes! “7” represents mitosis and development.
HINT: Find the processes by which a fertilized egg becomes an adult.
Organ that creates male gametes.
Way to go. The testes (2b) create the male gamete.
HINT: These are the structures in a male that create sperm.
Organ that creates female gametes.
Very nice. The ovaries (2a) create the female gamete.
HINT: Find a structure between the mother and the egg cell.

Arrow(s) representing DNA replication
Yes! “1” represents DNA replication.
HINT: Find where single chromosomes change into doubled chromosomes, consisting of two sister chromatids.
Arrow(s) representing separation of homologous pairs.
Way to go! “2” represents meiosis I, which separates homologous chromosomes.
HINT: Homologous pairs are separated during the first cell division (Meiosis I).
Arrow(s) representing separation of sister chromatids.
Very nice. “3” represents meiosis II, which separates sister chromatids.
HINT: The doubled chromosomes made of two connected sister chromatids look like an “X.” Find cells at the end of meiosis without these doubled chromosomes, and work back from there.
Diploid cell(s) with doubled chromosomes.
Terrific: The cell between “1” and “2” is diploid, with doubled chromosomes.
HINT: The cells are diploid when each chromosome has a homologous partner. That’s before the first cell division.
Haploid cells with doubled chromosomes
Superb! The cells between “2” and “3” are haploid, but with doubled chromosomes.
HINT: Count the number of chromosomes in the germ cell on the far left. Now, follow the arrows and find the first cell in which the chromosome number is half of that.
Haploid cells with single chromosomes, ready to be gametes
Outstanding! After meiosis II (at “3”) the cells are haploid, with single chromosomes.
HINT: Look for these cells after the second cell division.
