The process of meiosis is crucial for sexual reproduction and involves two distinct stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. During Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated after undergoing processes like synapsis and crossover.
Cytokinesis forms
four haploid daughter cells (two Shown)
Anaphase II
Centromeres separate, Sister chromatids move to poles
Metaphase II
* Chromosomes arrange on metaphase II plate
Prophase II
* Nuclear envelope breaks down,
centrosomes move to poles, spindle
microtubules form & attach to both sides centromeres,
chromosomes move towards meta-phase II plate.
Interphase
Telephase I & Cytokinesis I
* Nuclear envelope may re-form
* Cylokinesus forms two haploid daughter cells
* Sister chromatids remain attached
Anaphase I
homologous chromosomes move to poles
Metaphase I
Tetrads arrange on Metaphase I plate
Prohase I
* Chromosomes condense, form tetrads
* synapsis non-sister chromatids cross-over
* nuclear envelope breaks down, centrones move to poles, spindle microtubules form & attach to one side centromeres, tetrads move towards metaphase I plate.Subtopic
