Q

What happens in telophase 1?

Meiosis

A

Nuclear envelope begins to form around chromosomes
Chromatids uncoil and spindle fibres disintegrate

(The stage does not happen in all cells)

16
Q

What happens in prophase 2?

Meiosis

A

Nuclear envelope will disintegrate chromosomes shorten

17
Q

What happens in metaphase 2?

Meiosis

A

Crimsons are aligned 90° to meiosis 1
Line up on the equator of the cell
Spindle fibres attached to centromeres

18
Q

What happens in anaphase 2?

Meiosis

A

Spindle fibres shorten

Chromosomes pulled apart the centromere

19
Q

What happens in telophase 2?

Meiosis

A

Chromatids unwind
Spindle fibre breaks down
nuclear envelope reforms

20
