Q
Anaphase 1
A
The pairs separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
1
Q
Metaphase 1
A
The chromosome pairs line up in the center of the cell
2
Q
Telophase 1
A
Two cells form. Each cell has half the original number of chromosomes. Each chromosome is still made of 2 chromatids
3
Q
Metaphase 2
A
In each cell the chromosomes move to the center
4
Q
Anaphase 2
A
The centromeres split, and the chromosomes separate. They become single chromosomes and move to opposite ends of the cell
5
Q
Before meiosis
A
Every chromosome in the parent cell is copied. Centromeres hold the two chromatids together
6
Q
After meiosis
A
Four sex cells are produced. Each cell has half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Each sex cell has only one chromosome from an original pair.
