## Step 1<br />The first question is about the independent assortment of genes. Independent assortment refers to the random distribution of the pairs of genes on different chromosomes to the gametes. This is a characteristic of chromosomes, not linked genes, multiple alleles, or codominant alleles.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The second question is about the stage of meiosis where homologues line up along the equator of the cell. This happens during metaphase I of meiosis.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The third question is about what divides after a new nuclear membrane forms during telophase of mitosis or meiosis. The cytoplasm divides, resulting in two cells.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The fourth question is about the process that guarantees that the number of chromosomes in gametes is half the number of chromosomes in body cells. This process is called meiosis.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The fifth question is about what a reciprocal exchange of corresponding segments of DNA is called. This is known as crossing over.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />The sixth question is about what the cells resulting from meiosis in either males or females are called. These cells are called gametes.<br /><br />## Step 7<br />The seventh question is about what happens as a result of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. As a result of spermatogenesis, four cells are produced that can all develop into sperm cells. As a result of oogenesis, only one cell develops into an egg cell.<br /><br />## Step 8<br />The eighth question is about when sister chromatids separate. This happens during anaphase II of meiosis.<br /><br />## Step 9<br />The ninth question is about what will not develop into one or more gametes. Spermatids will not develop into one or more gametes.<br /><br />## Step 10<br />The tenth question is about what sperm are formed from. Sperm are formed from the direct maturation of spermatids.
