phases of meiosis

By Ruby.deleon

  • prophase 1

    Prophase 1 is the first step of meiosis. Prophase 1 is when the chromosomes condense and crossing over occurs.

  • metaphase 1

    metaphase 1 is the next step to meiosis. Metaphase is when the tetrads line up along the equator.

  • Anaphase 1

    Anaphase 1 is next and this is when the chromosomes move to the opposite poles of the cell.

  • Telophase 1 and Cytokinesis 1

    telophase 1 is the next phase and this is when the chromosomes are enclosed in the nuclei and then the cell undergoes cytokinesis 1 that divides the cytoplasm of the cell into 2 daughter cells.

  • Prophase 2

    next, we have prophase 2. This is when a new spindle forms between the chromosomes.

  • metaphase 2

    metaphase 2 is when the chromosomes line up to the equator.

  • Anaphase 2

    Anaphase 2 is when chromatics move to the opposite poles of the cells.

  • Telophase 2 and Cytokinesis 2

    Lastly in the meiosis phase are these 2. Telophase 2 is when the nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes and Cytokinesis 2 is when the cytoplasm divides
