is duplicated.

1st Division of Meiosis

Prophase 1: Duplicated chromatin

condenses. Crossing over (two
chromosomes of a homologous pair may
exchange segments) may occur.

Metaphase 1: Homologous
chromosomes align at the
equatorial plate.

Anaphase 1: Homologous pairs

separate with sister chromatids
remaining together.

Telophase 1: Two daughter cells are

formed with each daughter containing only
one chromosome of the homologous pair.
Division of Meiosis
Prophase 2: DNA does not replicate.

2nd

Metaphase 2: Chromosomes align at

the equatorial plate.
Anaphase 2: Centromeres divide
and sister chromatids migrate to
opposite poles.
Telophase 2: Cell division is
complete. Four haploid daughter cells
are obtained.
