1. Prophase 1

First stage meiosis is when the chromosomes cross over and start the cycle of meiosis, this part is exchanging for genetic material to match with the DNA.

2. Metaphase 1.

The chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell, also known as the equator.

3.  Anaphase 1.

The spindle fibres pull alway the chromosomes from each end of the cell.

4. Telophase 1

Each pair of the chromosomes go at each pole in the cell and now leaving it as one cell.

5. Interkinesis

The cell grows protein in order to form properly and give the chromosomes more protein.

6. Prophase 2

The chromosomes are in each part of the cell and start the 2nd part of meiosis.

7.  Metaphase 2

the chromosomes form in a line in the middle of the cell.

8. Anaphase 2.

the x shaped chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell.

the sister chromotaids move to opposite poles of the cell, this part is getting close to the end of the cycle.

9. Telophase 2.

The spindle fibres begin to disappear, a nuclear membrane begins to form around the chromosomes and now form as 2 cells.

10. Cytokinesis

The daughter cells complete the cycle by separating into individual cells, the DNA has copied the chromosomes into the genetic copy, the DNA is well known for copying itself into more copy’s.

 

 

 

3 Thoughts.

  1. Good work including pictures and descriptions of the complete process of meiosis. You have effectively used Minecraft to share your understanding of meiosis. Your post is effective in explaining how meiosis works. Consider ending with 4 cells as that is the difference between mitosis and meiosis.

  2. Hi Abby!
    I love your easy to follow format! Consider looking into the concrete details of the daughter cells in meiosis.
