Stage Descriptions/Characteristics
Prophase I
Synapsis occurs
Homologous
chromosomes pair up
Each group is made up
of 4 chromatids.
Each group of 4
chromatids is called
a
TETRAD.
Crossing Over
Metaphase I
The tetrads are aligned at the equator.
[note the crossing over]
Anaphase I
Tetrads split and chromosomes (in replicated form) move to
opposite poles.
Telophase I
Two cells form each cell is haploid but
each chromosome is in replicated form.
Interphase
(INterkinesis)
Prophase II
Each cell is haploid with chromosomes in
replicated form.
note the
Crossing over
Metaphase II
Chromosomes align at the equator in both
cells.
Anaphase II
Chromosomes separate Chromatids move
towards opposite poles.
(Centromeres split.)
Telophase II
4 cells result each cell is haploid with
unreplicated chromosomes.
Each cell will become a gamete (sperm/egg)
