Meiosis II (32132)

Prophase II (3)

1. the nuclear envelope of each cell begins to break down. 2. the chromosomes condense. 3. spindle fibres form.

Metaphase II (2)

1. each chromosome lines up along the metaphase plate/equator. 2. microtubules from opposite poles of the cell prepare to pull the chromosomes apart.

Anaphase II (1)

1. sister chromatids are separated and pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by microtubules, which are attached at each centromere.

Telophase II (3)

1. individual chromatids are now at each pole of the cell. 2. separate nuclear membranes begin to form around each set. 3. chromosomes begin to decondense and unravel.

Cytokinesis (2)

1. cytokinesis splits each of the chromosome sets at opposite ends of the cell into four new cells. 2. the resulting daughter cells are haploid.
