____________
MEIOSIS I

chromosomes
spindle
microtubule
chiasma
Prophase I. Duplicated
chromosomes condense.
Homologous chromosomes
pair up and chiasmata occur
as chromatids of homologues
exchange parts. The nuclear
envelope disintegrates, and
spindle microtubules form.
Metaphase I. Paired
homologous chromosomes
line up along the equator of
the cell. One homologue of
each pair faces each pole
of the cell and attaches to
spindle microtubules via its
kinetochore (blue).
Anaphase I. Homologues
separate, one member of
each pair going to each pole
of the cell. Sister chromatids
do not separate.
Telophase I. Spindle
microtubules disappear. Two
clusters of chromosomes have
formed, each containing one
member of each pair of
homologues. The daughter nuclei
are therefore haploid. Cytokinesis
commonly occurs at this stage.
There is little or no interphase
between meiosis I and meiosis II.
Second Meiotic Division

________ division but with few
chromosomes

opposite poles
– Telophase II - Nuclear envelope reforms; chromosomes ________.

MEIOSIS II
Prophase II.
If chromosomes
have relaxed after
telophase I, they
recondense. Spindle
microtubules re-form
and attach to the
sister chromatids.
Metaphase II.
Chromosomes line
up along the equator,
with sister chromatids
of each chromosome
attached to spindle
microtubules that lead
to opposite poles.
Anaphase II.
Chromatids separate
into independent
daughter chromosomes,
one former chromatid
moving toward each
pole.

Chromosomes finish
moving to opposite
poles. Nuclear
envelopes re-form,
and the chromosomes
become extended
