Meiosis Review
Meiosis I: Replication
Interphase I DNA Replication Chromatin a “ball of yarn”
Prophase I Chromosomes coil and condense Form a tetrad (synapsis)
Metaphase I Tetrads align along equator
Anaphase I Tetrads split Form dyads Dyads move to opposite poles
Telophase I Cleavage furrow forms Cell splits (cytokinesis) Form two diploid daughter cells
Meiosis II: Reduction Division
Interkinesis Similar to Interphase I No DNA replication
Prophase II Chromosomes condense and coil
Metaphase II Chromosomes align along equator
Anaphase II Dyads split at centromere Chromatids move to opposite poles
Telophase II Cleavage furrow forms Cell splits Both diploid Forms 4 haploid daughter cells
