Meiosis I(Figure 6.6, p. 106)

Prophase I: homologous chromosomes of diploid cell synapse; homologous pairs migrate toward equator of cell; crossover may occur during synapsis

Metaphase I: dyad pairs of homologous chromosomes align at the equator of the cell

Anaphase I: homologous chromosomes move apart toward opposite poles

Telophase 1: chromosomes cluster at poles of cell; cytokinesis occurs forming two haploid daughter cells each containing one member of each homologous pair thus reducing chromosome by half

Meiosis II (resembles mitosis)(Figure 6.6, p. 106)

Prophase II: dyad chromosomes move toward the equator of each cell (2)

Metaphase II: dyad chromosomes align at equator of cell Anaphase II: dyad chromosomes separate forming monad

chromosomes (chromatids separate); monads migrate toward opposite poles of each cell

Telophase II: cytokinesis occurs at right angles to the first plane of division in each cell (2); four daughter cells are formed each having half the number of chromosomes as the original cell
