a. Crossing over occurs during this phase of meiosis
b. During this phase of meiosis, chromosomes lineup at
the center of the 2 new cells
c. During this phase of meiosis, homologous
chromosomes separate. Chromatids do not separate at
their centromeres.
d. During this phase of meiosis, a new spindle forms
around the chromosomes in the 2 new cells
e. During this phase of meiosis, chromatids move to
opposite poles of the 2 new cells
f. During this phase of meiosis, individual chromosomes
gather at the poles of the cell. After this phase, cytokinesis
will occur to produce 2 new cells.
g. During this phase of meiosis, nuclear envelope forms
around each set of chromosomes and the cell is ready to
divide into new haploid cells
h. During this phase of meiosis, homologous
chromosomes move together along the center place of the
cell
