The Stages of Meiosis I and Meiosis II

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Stage
Description
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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
