nucleolus breaks down,
nucleus breaks down,
chromatids condense,
centrioles migrate to
opposite poles
Metaphase
spindle fibres form,
chromosomes line
up at the equator,
microtubles of
spindle attach to
centromeres
Anaphase
centromeres divide,
spindle fibres move
chromatids to
opposite poles
Telophase
chromosomes reach
opposite poles,
nuclear envelope
forms around each
Cytokinesis
Animal cell:
cleavage furrow
forms, furrow
deepens and when
membrane fuses,
cell is cleaved in 2
Plant cell: golgi
bodies produce
vesicles that
collect and form
an equatorial
cell plate
MEIOSIS
Prophase I
chromosomes condense
(evident homologous are
paired-bivalent). coromatids
appear, chromatids break
at chiasmata and rjoin with
another chromatid
CROSSING OVER
Metaphase I
bivalents move to equator
randomly, chromosome
pairs attach to spindle fibres
by centromere
INDEPENDENT
ASSORTMENT
Anaphase I
chromosomes
move
towards
poles
Telophase I
chromosomes
reach poles, nuclear
membrane forms (
nucleus has haploid
chromosomes)
Prophase II
New spindle
fibres form at
right angles to
old
Metaphase II
chromosomes
line up along
equator
Anaphase II
chromatids split
at centromere
and pull to
opposite poles
