gray winged animal it should be crossed with ___. - Answer ✔✔- aa
What process separates alleles? (From Mendel's Law: Alleles are separated and
randomly recombined.) - Answer ✔✔- Meiosis
In meiosis, sister chromatids are separated from each other during _____. - Answer
✔✔- Anaphase ll
Put the following events of the cell cycle in order. (The first event will be 1, the second
will be 2, and so on...)
Sister chromatids line up along the equator of the cell.
Chromosomes condense, mitotic spindle forms, nuclear envelope breaks down, sister
chromatids attach to the spindle.
DNA is replicated.
Chromosomes reach opposite poles and de-condense, nuclear envelopes reform,
spindle is broken down.
Sister chromatids split at the centromere and move to opposite poles of the cell. -
