Phases if Meiosis

Question 1

Meiosis I:

What is prophase I

Answer 1

when the
- neclear membrean breakes down
- centrosomes & centriols begin to move
- spindle fibers start to form
- dupliated chromosomes condence
- homologuse chromosomes pair up

Question 2

Meiosis I:

what is metaphase I

Answer 2

when the
- spindle fibers align homologous chromosomes along cell equator

each side has cromosomes from both parents

Question 3

Meiosis I:

What is anaphase I

Answer 3

when the
- paired homologous chromosomes separate from each other & move towrds opposite sides of the cell

sister chromosomes stay attached

Question 4

Meiosis I:

what is telophase I

Answer 4

when the
- spindle fibers disassemble
- cell undergoes cytokinesis

Question 5

Meiosis II:

what is prophase II

Answer 5

when the
- centosomes & centriols move to opposite ends of the cell
- spindel fibers start to form

Question 6

Meiosis II:

what is metaphase II

Answer 6

when the
- spindle fibers align chromosomes along cell equator

Question 6

Meiosis II:

what is anaphase II

Answer 6

when the
- sister chromosmes are pulled apart from each other
- sister chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell

Question 7

Meiosis II:

what is telophase II

Answer 7

when the
- neclear membrane forms again, around chromosomes
- spindle fibers break down
- cell undergoes cytokinesis
