Resource summary
Meiosis
Prophase 1
Chromatin condenses and supercoils
Homologous pairs come together to form a bivalent
The non-sister chromatids wrap around each other at the chiasmata
Swap sections of chromatids (crossing over)
Nucleolus disappear and the nuclear envelope disintegrates
Spindle forms, this is made of microtubules
Metaphase 1
Bivalents line up across the equator
Spindle fibres attach to centromeres
Bivalents are randomly assorted
Anaphase 1
The homologous chromosomes in each bivalent are pulled by the spindle fibres to opposite poles
Centromeres do NOT divide
Chiasmata separate and lengths of the chromatid that have been crossed over remain with the chromatid
Telophase 1
Two new nuclear envelopes form, one around each set of chromosomes at each pole
Cell divides by cytokinesis
Chromosomes uncoil
Prophase 2
Nuclear envelope breaks down
Nucleolus disappears
Chromosomes condense
Spindle fibres form
Metaphase 2
The chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle attaching by the centromeres
The chromatids are randomly assorted
Anaphase 2
The centromeres divide and the chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles by the spindle fibres
The chromatids randomly segregate
Telophase 2
Nuclear envelope reforms around the haploid daughter cells
In animals the two cells now divide to give 4 haploid cells
IPMAT- Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
Prophase- Preparation
Metaphase- meet in the Middle
Anaphase- When the chromatids are pulled they give an A shape
Telophase- Two new nuclear envelopes
