Fetal
Phases of Prophase 1
Lipotene Zygotene Pachytene Diplotene Diakinesis
Lipotene
Condensation of chromosomes
Zygotene
Bivalent or tetrad
Synaptonemal complex
Pachytene
Cross over of non sister chromatids
Cross over of non sister chromatids in the Pachytene phase occurs at
Recombination nodules
Diplotene
Dissolution of the synaptonemal complex
Chiasmata remains
The X-shaped structures formed during separation are known as
chiasmata.
Diakinesis
termination of chiasmata
assembly of the meiotic spindle to separate the homologous chromosomes
Nucleus dissolves
Metaphase 1
Assmeble at the equator
Anaphase 1
Pulled toward polar ends
Sister chromatids stay together
Telophase 1
Two nuclei form
Cytokinesis occurs
Prophase 2
Condensation
Assembly of mitosis spindles
Nuclear membrane dissolves
Metaphase 2
chromosomes line up end-to-end along the equator of the cell.
Anaphase 2
The sister chromatids are then pulled to opposite poles
individual chromosomes.
