New cards

Meiosis I

The first division separates the homologous chromosomes into two intermediate cells

2
New cards

Interphase

Chromosomes are not visible; DNA is dividing

3
New cards

Prophase I

Homologues pair up, with replicated chromosomes appearing as two sister chromatids. Homologous chromosomes pair up; crossing over may occur.

4
New cards

Metaphase I

Independent assortment occurs as homologous pairs line up in the middle of the cell independently of each other.

5
New cards

Anaphase I

Homologous pairs separate

6
New cards

Telophase I

2 nuclei form, the cells begin to truly separate; intermediate daughter cells form

7
New cards

Meiosis II

The mitotic division where the chromatids are pulled apart but the chromosome number remains the same.

8
New cards

Prophase II

Spindle apparatus forms. Chromosomes migrate towards the metaphase plate.

9
New cards

Metaphase II

Chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate.

10
New cards

Anaphase II

Sister chromatids (now individual chromosomes) separate.

11
New cards

Telophase II

Separate gametes are produced
