a pair of chromosomes consisting of one chromosome from the father (paternal chromosome) and one from the mother (maternal chromosome)
During what phase does crossing over occur?
meiosis I--specifically, prophase I of meiosis I
What kind and how many cells result from the division in meiosis I?
One diploid cell divides into two haploid cells at the end of meiosis I. This is called reductional division.
What kind and how many cells result from the division in meiosis II?
At the end of meiosis II, two haploid cells divide into four haploid cells, which is very similar to mitosis. This is called equational division.
