1. 2 divisions of the nucleus
Meiosis
2 divisions of the nucleus

2. DNA is replicated forming homologous chromosomes

3. Prophase 1 Chromosomes condense Nuclear envelope disappears
Crossing over occurs between Homologous chromosomes.

4. Metaphase 1
Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator

5. Anaphase 1
Homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles

6. Telophase 1
Chromosomes gather at the poles
Cytokinesis

7. Prophase 2
New spindle forms around chromosomes

8. Metaphase 2
Chromosomes line up at equator

9. Anaphase 2 Centromere divides
Chromatids (now chromosomes) move to opposite poles

10. Telophase 2 Nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes
Cytokinesis
Results in 4
haploid cells
(gametes)

11. Genetic Variation
Variation generated quickly

12. Crossing over
DNA exchange between homologous chromosomes
