PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Interphase
Cells go through a round of DNA replication, making duplicate chromosomes.
Prophase 1
Each chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous. The nuclear envelope starts to disappear.
Metaphase 1
Spindle fibers attatch to the chromosomes
Anaphase 1
The fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase 1
The nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes.
Cytokinesis 1
The cell separates into two cells.
Prophase 2
Meiosis results in two haploid daughter cells, each with half the numbers of chromosomes
Metaphase 2
The chromosomes line up in a similar way to the metaphase stage of meiosis.
Anaphase 2
The sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase 2 and Cytokinesis 2
These phases end in four haploid cells.
