    The document describes the 8 phases of meiosis: 1) Prophase I where homologous chromosomes pair up and form a tetrad. 2) Metaphase I where homologous chromosomes are moved to opposite sides of the cell. 3) Interphase where the nuclear membrane reforms and cytoplasm divides, forming 4 daughter cells. 4) Prophase II where chromosomes line up along the equator not in homologous pairs. 5) Metaphase II where chromatids separate. 6) Anaphase II where homologous pairs line up along the equator. 7) Telophase II where cytoplasm divides forming 2 daughter cells. 8) Crossing over occurs where genetic recombination takes place.

    Phases of Meiosis

    Use your notes (and/or page 273 in you textbook or pages 142-143 in the old green & yellow textbook) to
    name each phase described and pictured below. Caution: The pictures are not in the same order as the
    descriptions. Hint: Look to see if the chromatids are still connected at the centromere. Also, look to see how
    many cells are present.

    Name of Phase Description

    1. Homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrad

    2. Spindle fibers move homologous chromosomes to opposite sides

    3. Nuclear membrane reforms, cytoplasm divides, 4 daughter cells formed

    4. Chromosomes line up along equator, not in homologous pairs

    5. Crossing-over occurs

    6. Chromatids separate

    7. Homologous pairs line up along equator

    8. Cytoplasm divides, 2 daughter cells are formed
