What are the steps of meiosis?
|
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
|
|
Describe the steps of prophase.
|
-Chromosomes become visibile
-Consist of two sister chromatids -Centrioles migrate to opposite poles -Nucleolus & nuclear envelope disintegrate -Spindle is formed |
|
Describe the process of metaphase.
|
Chromosome arrange and become attached to spindle at centromere.
|
|
Describe the process of anaphase.
|
-The centromeres divide.
-Sister chromatids move to opposite poles (due to spindle shortening) |
|
Describe the process of telophase.
|
-The chromatids reach their respective poles, uncoil and become invisible.
-Spindle fibres disintegrate -Nuclear envelope reform; nucleoli reappears. |
