Meiosis

The Stages of Meiosis I and Meiosis II

StageDescription
Prophase I chromatin condenses and supercoils; chromosomes shorten and thicken; chromosomes join in homologous pairs to form a bivalent; non-sister chromatids attach at chiasmata; crossing over; nucleolus disappears; nuclear envelope disintegrates; spindle forms
Metaphase I bivalents arrange themselves on the equator of the spindle, attached to spindle microtubules at the centromeres; the bivalents are randomly arranged
Anaphase I homologous chromosomes are pulled by the spindle microtubules to opposite poles; centromeres do not divide; chiasmata separate
Telophase I in animal cells, two new nuclear envelopes form and the cell divides by cytokinesis; most plant cells do not have telophase I
Prophase II nuclear envelope disintegrates; nucleolus disappears; chromosomes condense; spindles form
Metaphase II chromosomes arrange themselves on the equator of the spindle, attached to spindle microtubules at the centromeres; the chromatids are randomly arranged
Anaphase II centromeres divide and chromatids are pulled to opposite poles by the spindle fibres; chromatids randomly segregate
Telophase II nuclear envelopes reform; in animals, two cells divide to give four haploid cells; in plants, a tetrad of four haploid cells is formed

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
