Prophase I Metaphase I
Anaphase I Telophase I
Anaphase II Telophase II
A1 B1 C1
The centromeres of
Chromatids
homologous
chromosomes are line up at
oriented toward the mid-cell
opposite cell poles
D1 E1 F1
Cell membrane Crossing over
completes its (recombination)
constriction occurs
G1 H1 I1
The centrioles The paired
chromatids move
and asters
along the spindle
are at the to their respective
poles centrioles
J1 K1 L1
The chromosomes The cell The DNA begins
split and move to membrane to condense
opposite sides of begins to and form short
the cell constrict chromosomes
P1 Q1 Nuclear R1
Four haploid membranes
enclose the
cells are
separated
produced chromatids
S1 T1 The now- U1
The Tetrads separated
The cell
attach to chromatids
membrane
spindle fibers at approach their
begins to pinch
their centromeres respective poles
V1 W1 X1
The kinetochore Tetrads
fibers of the sister
chromatids point
line up at
toward opposite poles mid-cell

Homologous The nuclear
chromatids do membrane
not duplicate but disintegrates
merely separate
B2 C2 D2
Synapsis occurs The cell Each cell has half
membrane the number of
and a tetrad
chromosomes of
is formed begins to
the parent cell
constrict
E2 F2
The
tetrads
separate
