Phases of Meiosis Chapter 10.2
Interphase Same as interphase of mitosis Cell replicates its chromosomes Grows in size
Prophase I Chromosomes visible Nucleus disappears Homologous chromosomes pair together to form a tetrad Crossing over occurs Exchange of genetic material on homologous chromosomes Results in new combinations of alleles on chromosomes
Metaphase I Chromosomes attached to spindle fibers at the centromeres Homologous chromosomes line up across from each other at the middle of the cell
Anaphase I Homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
Telophase I Two daughter cells are formed Chromosome uncoil Nucleus reforms
Prophase II Same as prophase of mitosis Nucleus disappears Chromosomes become visible Chromosomes still made up of two sister chromatids
Metaphase II Chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell
Anaphase II Sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell by the spindle fibers
Telophase II Nuclei reform Cell divides to produce four gamete cells that contain a haploid number of chromosomes
