2.
Phase: Metaphase I
Description:
-Spindle fibers line up the homologous pairs
double file in the middle
3.
Phase: Anaphase I
Description:
-Chromosome pairs go to opposite ends
4.
Phase: Telophase I
Description:
-Nuclear membrane reforms
-The cell prepares to divide
5.
Phase: Prophase II
Description:
-Nuclear membrane disappears
-Chromosomes condense again
6.
Phase: Metaphase II
Description:
-Spindle fibers lineup chromosomes in
the middle
7.
Phase: Anaphase II
Description:
-Sister chromatids separate and move
to opposite ends
8.
Phase: Telophase II
Description:
-Nuclear membrane forms
-The cells prepare to divide
End Result:
Four unique cells (gametes) with half of the number of chromosomes
Less
