1. Prophase I
- The chromosomes shorten, and the nuclear envelope breaks down where crossing-over happens.
2. Metaphase I
- Pairs of homologous chromosomes interchange to the equator of the cell.
3. Anaphase I
- Homologous chromosomes move to the opposite poles of the cell.
4. Telophase I and Cytokinesis
- Chromosomes meet at the poles of the cells and the cytoplasm splits.
5. Prophase II
- A different spindle forms around the chromosomes.
6. Metaphase II
- Chromosomes stroke at the equator.
7. Anaphase II
- Centromeres will divide and chromatids will gather to the opposite poles of the cells.
8. Telophase II and Cytokinesis
- A nuclear envelope will form around each set of chromosomes and the cytoplasm distributes.
