Meiosis Worksheet
On the lines provided, order the different stages of meiosis I THROUGH meiosis II, including interphase in the proper
sequence.
1.
homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in the
center of the cell
2.
spindle fibers pull homologous pairs to opposite ends of the cell
3.
4 haploid (N) daughter cells form
4.
cells undergo a round of DNA replication
5.
sister chromatids separate from each other
6.
2 haploid (N) daughter cells form
7.
spindle fibers attach to the homologous chromosome pairs
8.
individual chromatids move to each end of the cell
9.
10.
crossing-over (if any) occurs
