17
Q

3 major events in Prophase

A

Chromosomes condense
Spindle fibers form
Chromosomes are captured by spindle

18
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes align along the equator of the cell

19
Q

Anaphase

A

Spindle fibers shorten and lengthen, separating the chromosomes

20
Q

Telophase

A

Spindle fibers disintegrate
Nucleus envelops around both groups of chromosomes
Chromosomes revert into chromatin

21
Q

Prophase 1(longest)

A

Chromosomes condense
Nucleus disappear
Spindle forms
Synapsis occurs where homologous chromosomes come together (tetras forms)
Crossing over

22
Q

Metaphase 1

A

Tetrad align on the equator of the cell
Independent assortment

23
Q

Anaphase 1

A

Homologous chromosomes separate
Sister chromatids remain attached

24
Q

Telophase 1

A

Poles has haploid set of chromosomes
Prepares for cytokinesis

25
Q

Prophase 2

A

Nucleus disappears
Chromosomes condense
Spindle fibers form

26
Q

Metaphase 2

A

Chromosomes align on equator of the cell

27
Q

Anaphase 2

A

Sister chromatids separate

28
Q

Telophase 2

A

Nucleus membrane reforms
Spindle disappears
