Meosis Flashcards
End of Interphase
G1 - S - G2 DNA Replication
Prophase 1
nuclear membrane dissolves, chromatin condenses and spindle fibers form
homologous chromosomes pair up in synapsis, this is guided by spindle fibers to form a tetrad.
increase genetic variablity
Metaphase 1
spindle fibers guide homologous pairs to line up across from each other on equator randomly
increase genetic variability
Anaphase 1
spindle fibers contract pulling homologous pairs apart, each going to opposite ends of cell
Telophase
nuclear membrane reforms, chromosomes unwind, spindle fibers dissolve
Cytokinesis
results in 2 haploid cells (sister chromatids still attached)
Prophase 2
Nm dissolves
chromatin condeneses
spindle fibers form
Metaphase 2
spindle fibers attach to centromere guide chromosomes to equator
Anaphase 2
centromere splits, spindle fibers contract to pull sister chromatids to opposite ends of cell
Telophase 2
NM refroms, the chromatids unwind and spindle fibers dissolve
Cytokinesis
results in 4 haploid cells
