| anaphase 1 | homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell. |
| telophase and cytokinesis 1 | chromosomes gather at the poles of the cell.cytoplasm divides. |
| prophase 2 | a new spindle forms around the chromosome. |
| metaphase 2 | chromosomes line up at the equator. |
| anaphase 2 | centromeres divide.chromotids (now called chromosomes)move to opposite poles of the cell. |
