Term
Interphase
Definition
1. Chromosome replication. Meiosis 1
Term
Prophase 1
Definition
2. Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome. This structure is called a tetrad, which contains four chromatids. This is when crossing over happens.
Term
Metaphase 1
Definition
3. Spindles form and the paired homologous chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
Term
Anaphase 1
Definition
4. The homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. Spindle fibers pull each pair toward opposite ends of the cell.
Term
Telophase 1
Definition
5. Chromosomes cluster at each end of the cell. A nuclear membrane formers around each cluster of chromosomes.
Term
Cytokinesis 1
Definition
6. Cells separate and form two new cells, resulting in two daughter cells. Neither daughter cell has the two complete sets of chromosomes.
Term
Prophase 2
Definition
7. Chromosomes become visible. They do not form tetrads like in Prophase 1.
Term
Metaphase 2
Definition
8. Chromosomes line up along the center of each cell. Similar to Metaphase 1.
Term
Anaphase 2
Definition
9. The paired chromatids separate. Similar to Anaphase 1.
Term
Telophase 2
Definition
10. Similar to Telophase 1.
Term
Cytokinesis 2
Definition
11. Similar to Cytokinesis 1. Cells separate to form four haploid daughter cells.
