1. Meiosis

2. Interphase Same as in mitosis Growth and Replication G1 – cell growth
S – replication of chromosoms
G2 – growth and preparation for cell division

3. Chromosomes

4. Karotype

5. Prophase I Chromosomes thicken and condense ( become visible)
Centrioles move to the poles
Nuclear envelop disappears
Homologous chromosomes come together during SYNAPSIS to form a TETRAD
Crossing-over occurs

6. Metaphase I Chromosomes move to the equator as a tetrad
Spindle fibers attach to chromosome

7. Anaphase I Spindle fibers shorten
Homologous chromosomes separate and move to the poles

8. Telophase I / Cytokinesis
Cell membrane begins to pinch in
Nuclear membrane reappears
The cytoplasm divides
Formation of cell membrane
Results in two haploid daughter cells

10. Meiosis II
Proceeds just as mitosis with the exception of chromosome replication. THEY DO NOT REPLICATE AGAIN!!!
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II
Cytokinesis

13. ??????????????????????
