and adenine or will be the same
c. identical copies of a chromosome connected by a centromere
d. one strand of a chromatid is old (conserved) DNA and one strand is new DNA
e. these synapse during the process of meiosis (chromosome pairing with another
chromosome during meiosis)

8. True or False: Meiosis II is just like Mitosis (stage wise)

9. True or False: Mutations in Meiosis I AND II can occur if there are problems with
crossing over, Anaphase I and Anaphase II
