Document Summary

Stages of meiosis: chromosomes duplicate from 1 chromatid to 2 chromatids during s phase prior to meiosis. Prophase i: chromosomes (consisting of 2 identical sister chromatids) begin to condense, homologous chromosomes form pairs and associate closely (4 chromatids, each homologues pair is called a bivalent chromosome or tetrad chromatid, crossing over between homologous chromosomes occurs. Homologous copies of the same chromosome undergo a process where the arms of the chromosome interchange (called chiasma) Results in the sister chromatids having a portion of the opposite chromosome. After crossing over, the sister chromatids are no longer genetically identical. Metaphase i: paired chromosomes (4 chromatids) align on the equatorial plane of spindle body, chromosomes are bound to one another. Anaphase i: homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles/ends of the cell, each chromosome still has 2 chromatids, 23 chromosomes here. Telophase i: chromosome movement is completed and new nuclei begin to form.
