Phases of Meiosis
Name of Phase
Description
1. PROPHASE I
Homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrad
2.ANAPHASE I
Spindle fibers move homologous chromosomes to opposite sides
Nuclear membrane reforms, cytoplasm divides, 4 daughter cells
3.TELOPHASE II
formed
4.METAPHASE II
Chromosomes line up along equator, not in homologous pairs
5.PROPHASE I
Crossing-over occurs
6.ANAPHASE II
Chromatids separate
7.METAPHASE I
Homologous chromosomes line up alone equator
8.TELOPHASE I
Cytoplasm divides, 2 daughter cells are formed
