Meiosis Flashcards
1
Q
Prophase 1
A
The chromosomes condense, and the nuclear membrane breaks down. Crossing over occurs.
2
Q
Metaphase 1
A
Pairs of homologous chromosomes move towards the equator of the cell.
3
Q
Anaphase 1
A
Homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.
4
Q
Telophase 1 &cytokinesis
A
Chromosomes gather at the poles of the cell. The cytoplasm divides.
5
Q
Prophase 2
A
A new spindle forms around the chromosomes.
6
Q
Metaphase 2
A
Metaphase 2 chromosomes line up at the equator.
7
Q
Anaphase 2
A
Centromere divide, chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cells.
8
Q
Telophase 2 and cytokinesis
A
A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes. The cytoplasm divides.
