(1 ) The first and longest step of meiosis I is called ____ I.


(2)The second step of meiosis I is called ____ I.

Answer 1

The first and longest step of meiosis I is called prophase I and the second step of meiosis I is called metaphase I

Answer 2

The correct answer is (1) prophase I (2) metaphase I.

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the methods of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half of the chromosome number compare to parent cells. Meiosis complete in meiosis 1 and meiosis II. The sub-phases are as fellow ; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

These stages occur in this order only, The first and longest phase is prophase I follow by metaphase I, is the second phase and 3rd phase is anaphase I and telophase I.

Thus, the correct answer is (1) prophase I (2) metaphase I.
