- Describe how many cells result from meiosis (+cytokinesis) and whether they are haploid or diploid.
- Define homologous chromosomes.
- Differentiate between homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids.
- Describe what is meant by “paternal” vs “maternal” chromosomes (Remember, they are both present in diploid cells).
- Describe the phase at which homologous chromosomes are separated.
