Chromosomes are not duplicated in Meiosis I, the first phase. Meiosis I creates 4 unique daughter cells each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The chromosomes are reduced during Meiosis I (first phase). The duplication of chromosomes does not occur in Meiosis. The duplication of chromosomes occurs prior to meiosis I. Before meiosis begins, during S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of each chromosome is replicated so that it consists of two identical sister chromatids. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair with each other and can exchange genetic material in a process called chromosomal crossover.

RE:
homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrad in what phase of meiosis?
ive got this stupid science paper and the freaking questions are impossible if your really smart then plz tell me all u know about cell division
