9 - Biology- Meiosis
1st Stage of Meiosis (Interphase and PMAT)
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| interphase | longest stage of the cell cycle |
| prophase I | nucleus breaks down |
| metaphase I | spindle fibers attach to the chromosome centromeres |
| anaphase I | spindle fibers shorten |
| telophase I | chromosomes reach poles |
| interphase | cell grows and carries out normal cell functions |
| prophase I | chromatin condenses into chromosomes and homologous chromosomes pair up and crossing over takes place |
| metaphase I | chromosomes line up in PAIRS in the middle of the cell |
| anaphase I | chromosome PAIRS are pulled apart and they move to opposite poles in the cell |
| telophase I | two nuclei reform and chromosomes uncoil back into chromatin (1 strand) |
| interphase | DNA is replicated |
| prophase I | centrioles begin to form spindle fibers |
