1
New cards

Leptonema(1)

chromosomes begin to condense as meiosis begins

2
New cards

Zygonema(2)

Homologous chromosomes pair up, centrioles begin moving, haploid number of bivalents

3
New cards

Pachynema(3)

double structure of homologs becomes visible, tetrads

4
New cards

Diplonema(4)

chiasmata are visible(points of crossing over to exchange genetic information between non sister chromatids but still homologous chromosomes(one from each parent))

5
New cards

Diakinesis(5)

tetrads moved to equatorial plane by spindle fibers, terminalization where ciasmata move to ends of chromosomes
