Q

A

Metaphase I

17
Q
  • spindle fibers separate the homologous chromosome in each tetrad and pull them to opposite poles of the cell
A

Anaphase I

18
Q
  • one chromosome from each homologous pair at each separate poles but still consists of sister chromatids
  • sister chromatids are no longer identical
  • spindle fibers disappear
  • nuclear membrane reforms
A

Telophase I

19
Q
  • no DNA replication
  • nuclear membrane disappears
  • centrioles move to opposite poles
  • spindle fiber grows
A

Prophase II

20
Q
  • chromosome in each line up at the equator and attach to spindle fibers from both poles
A

Metaphase II

21
Q
  • the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles
  • one the sister chromatids separate they’re called chromosomes
A
