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