1
Q

A
Each chromosome duplicates its genetic material
2
Q
Meiosis stage 2 (metaphase)
A
Each duplicated chromosome from mother lines up in the centre, pairing with the same duplicated chromosome from the father
3
Q
Meiosis stage 3 (anaphase)
A
Chromosomes get pulled apart by spindle fibres to opposite poles, separating the pairs
4

Meiosis stage 4 (metaphase 2)
A
Chromosomes line up in centre, preparing for second division
5
