  • Homologous move to opposite sides of the cell
    Anaphase I
  •  15
  • Homologous chromosomes pair up and cross-over
    Prophase I
  •  15
  • Tetrads line up in the middle of the cell
    Metaphase I
  •  15
  • Cytoplasm starts to divide and form two nuclei
    Telophase I
  •  15
  • Two non-identical cells are formed
    Cytokinesis I
  •  15
  • The nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes do NOT replicate anymore
    Prophase II
  •  15
  • Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
    Metaphase II
  •  15
  • Sister chromatids of chromosomes separate and move apart
    Anaphase II
  •  15
  • New nuclei are formed around the chromosomes of each daughter cell
    Telophase II
  •  15
  • Four non-identical haploid cells are formed
    Cytokinesis II
  •  15
  • Another term for sex cells
    gametes

  • Formed when homologous chromosomes cross-over
    tetrad
  •  15
  • contains half of the chromosome number of parent cells
    haploid
  •  15
  • contains two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent)

  •  15
  • holds sister chromatids of a chromosome together
