MEIOSIS
Meiosis I – Separation of homologous chromosomes to reduce the number of chromosomes by half
INTERPHASE PROPHASE I METAPHASE I
CYTOKINESIS I TELOPHASE I ANAPHASE I
Meiosis II – Separation of sister chromatids to maintain same number of chromosomes
PROPHASE II METAPHASE II ANAPHASE II
CYTOKINESIS II TELOPHASE II
Synapsis and crossing over occur
Tetrads line up on the metaphase
plate
Homologous pairs separate
Chromosomes line up on the metaphase
plate
Sister chromatids separate
4 haploid daughter cells are formed, each having only one chromosomes of each
homologous pair
