The Stages of Meiosis

Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the cell's equator

• Prophase 1
• Prophase 2
• Metaphase 1
• Telophase 2

Chromosomes gather at the poles. the cytoplasm divides.

• Telaphase 1
• Metaphase 2
• Anaphase 2
• Prophase 1

Chromosomes condense. the nuclear envelope breaks down

• Prophase 2
• Prophase 1
• Anaphase 2
• Metaphase 1

A new spindle forms around the chromosomes

• Anaphase 2
• Prophase 1
• Telaphase 1
• Prophase 2

Chromosomes line up at the equators

• Metaphase 2
• Anaphase 2
• Telaphase 2
• Prophase 2

Homologous chromosomes move to the cells opposite poles.

• Anaphase 1
• Prophase 1
• Metaphase 1
• Telaphase 2

A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes. the cell divides

• Telaphase 2
• Telaphase 1
• Anaphase 2
