Meiosis Flashcards
1
Q
What happens in prophase 1?
A
chromosomes condense (become visible)
nuclear membrane breaks down
spindle fibres form
crossing over
2
Q
What happens in metaphase 1?
A
homologous pairs line up next to each other
attaches to centromeres
3
Q
What happens in anaphase 1?
A
homologous pairs are separated
pulled apart to opposite poles
4
Q
What happens in telophase 1?
A
nuclei reforms
cell divides
5
Q
What happens in prophase 2?
A
nuclei breaks down
spindle forms
(2 separate circles / cells)
6
Q
