Meiosis I
The first division separates the homologous chromosomes into two intermediate cells
Interphase
Chromosomes are not visible; DNA is dividing
Prophase I
Homologues pair up, with replicated chromosomes appearing as two sister chromatids. Homologous chromosomes pair up; crossing over may occur.
Metaphase I
Independent assortment occurs as homologous pairs line up in the middle of the cell independently of each other.
Anaphase I
Homologous pairs separate
Telophase I
2 nuclei form, the cells begin to truly separate; intermediate daughter cells form
Meiosis II
The mitotic division where the chromatids are pulled apart but the chromosome number remains the same.
Prophase II
Spindle apparatus forms. Chromosomes migrate towards the metaphase plate.
Metaphase II
Chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate.
Anaphase II
Sister chromatids (now individual chromosomes) separate.
Telophase II
Separate gametes are produced
