TermDefinition
Prophase 1
chromosomes condense homologs pair up Recombination of alleles chromosomes exchange DNA in crossing over
Metaphase 1
Random alignment of homologous chromosomes at equator chromatids held at centromere
Anaphase 1
chromosomes separate moving to opposite poles
Telophase 1
Nuclear membranes reform and two cells ate formed each with N=2 chromosomes spindle fibers disassemble
Prophase 2
There are two cells and DNA does not replicate again
Metaphase 2
individual chromosomes line up at equator
Anaphase 2
Chromatids split at centromere and are moved to opposite poles of the cell
Telophase 2
Nuclear membranes reform and there are 4 new haploid daughter cells
Recombination
When information on chromosomes switch around
