Document Summary

Division in meiosis 1 occur in four phases (takes us from 2n double stranded to 1n double stranded) Prophase 1 is typically occupying more than 90% of the time required for meiosis. In synapsis, homologous chromosomes loosely pair up, aligned gene by gene. In crossing over, non-sister chromatids exchange dna segments. Each pair of chromosomes forms a tetrad, a group of four chromatids. Each tetrad usually has one or more chiasmata. When homologous pairs line up together we call it a tetrad. In metaphase 1, tetrads line up at the metaphase plate, with one chromosome facing each pole. Microtubules form one pole are attached to the kinetochore of one chromosome of each tetrad. Microtubules form the other pole are attached to the kinetochore of the other chromosome. In anaphase 1, pairs of homologous chromosomes separate. One chromosome moves towards each pole, guided by the spindle apparatus.
