meiosis stages only
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Prophase I | Cell has 2n chromosomes Crossing over occurs |
| Metaphase I | Chromosomes align in cell equator Spindle fibers attach to homologous pairs |
| Anaphase I | Homologous pairs are separated One pair moves in each polar end of cell |
| Telophase I | Chromosomes uncoil Cell divides along wquator |
| Prophase II | Chromosomes still condense into chromatids Chromosomes condense |
| Metaphase II | Spindle fibers attach to each chromatid Aligned at center of cell |
| Anaphase II | Spindle fibers separate chromatids to opposite sides of cell |
| Telophase II | Chromosomes condense nuclear membrane forms Cell divides in four haploid cells |
| Meiosis | Process in sex cells where they divide in four haploid cells instead of two diploid cells |
