The cell increases in mass in preparation for cell division.
Chromosomes become visible, crossing-over occurs, the nucleolus disappears, the meiotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears.
The pairs of chromosomes (bivalents) become arranged on the metaphase plate and are attached to the now fully formed meiotic spindle.
The two chromosomes in each bivalent separate and migrate toward opposite poles.
The homologous chromosome pairs reach the poles of the cell, nuclear envelopes form around them, and cytokinesis follows to produce two cells.
The nuclear envelope breaks down and the spindle apparatus forms.
The chromosomes become arranged on the metaphase plate, much as the chromosomes do in mitosis, and are attached to the now fully formed spindle.
The centromeres separate and the sister chromatids—now individual chromosomes—move toward the opposite poles of the cell.
The chromosomes become arranged on the metaphase plate, much as the chromosomes do in mitosis, and are attached to the now fully formed spindle.
