Meiosis stages

bio finalProphase I

Prophase I

Chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over. 

Metaphase I

 Homologous chromosome pairs line up at the cell's center. 

Anaphase I

Homologous chromosomes separate, moving to opposite poles of the cell. 

Telophase I

The chromosomes decondense, the nuclear membrane reforms, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.

Prophase II

Chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down. 

Metaphase II

Sister chromatids line up at the cell's center. 

Anaphase II

 Sister chromatids separate, moving to opposite poles of the cell. 

Telophase II

 The chromosomes decondense, the nuclear membrane reforms, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.
