Meiosis
Interphase 1
Cells undergo a round of DNA replication.
Chromosomes duplicate.
Prophase 1
Homologous chromosomes link as they condense, forming tetrads.
Crossing over occurs.
metaphase 1
chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
Chromosomes are attached to spindles
anaphase 1
Cells starts to pull apart
spindle fibers stretch
chromosomes move to opposite ends
telephase 1
nuclear membrane forms.
the cell separates into two cells.
centrioles move together
cytokinesis 1
splits into to cells
Prophase 2
Starts with 2 daughter haploid cells that have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the original cell
Centrioles start to move to opposite ends
Spindles start to form
Metaphase 2
Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
Spindles attach to the chromosomes
Anaphase 2
Centrioles split
Chromosomes move to opposite ends
Telaphase 2 and Cytokineses 2
Nuclear Membrane forms
Centrioles move back together
both cells split into two new cells
Now you have 4 haploid daughter cells
