Meiosis

Meisosis 1 - chromosomes in a diploid cell resegregate, producing four haploid daughter cells

Meiosis 2 - the sister chromatids within the two daughter cells separate, forming four new haploid gametes

Interphase

metaphase 1

anaphase 1

pro metaphase 1

prophase 1

telophase 1

metaphase 2

anaphase 2

pro metaphase 2

telophase 2

prophase 2

the crossing over and recombination of genetic material between non sister chromatids

this results in the genetically unidentical, haploid daughter chromatid cells

disintegration of the nuclear envelope

migration of centrosomes to either pole

These are the condensing of chromatin into chromosomes

the reconstruction of the spindle apparatus.

the nuclear envelopes are completely broken down, and each sister chromatid forms an individual kinetochore that attaches to microtubules from opposite poles

sister chromatids are pulled apart by the kinetochore microtubules and move toward opposite poles.

alignment of chromosomes along a single plane in the center of the cell.

nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense

cytokinesis

plits the chromosome sets into new cells, forming the final products of meiosis: four haploid cells in which each chromosome has just one chromatid.

The second stage of the first meiotic division (meiosis I), during which the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing microtubule access to chromosomes.

encompasses the alignment of paired chromosomes along the center (metaphase plate) of a cell, ensuring that two complete copies of chromosomes are present in the resulting two daughter cells of meiosis

This mechanism separates homologous chromosomes into two separate groups.

third stage of meiosis I and follows prophase I and metaphase I

This stage is characterized by the movement of chromosomes to both poles of a meiotic cell via a microtubule network known as the spindle apparatus

phase when the chromosomes have finished moving to opposite ends of the cell.

Cytokinesis

physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells

In this phase, the cell increases in mass in preparation for cell division
