phases Flashcards
interphase 1
chromosomes replicate, a chromosome consists of 2 identical sister chromatids
prophase 1
chromosomes condense and come together in homologous pairs (synapsis)
crossing over for genetic variation
nuclear membrane dissolves
metaphase 1
homologous pairs line up at the equator
anaphase 1
spindle fibres pull homologous chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell
sister chromatids remain together
telophase 1
cytokinesis
prophase 2
chromosomes recondense
spindle fibres reform
metaphase 2
chromosomes line up along the equator
anaphase 2
spindle fibres pull and separate sister chromatids to opposite ends of the cell
telophase 2
nuclear membrane reforms
cytokinesis
4 unique daughter cells with haploid number of unreplicated chromosomes
