5639325849Prophase One* Chromosomes condense * Paired homologous chromosomes become connected along their lengths by a protein structure called synaptonemal complex * Crossing over occurs * Synapsis ends * Each pair has one or more X-shaped regions called chiasmata * Nuclear envelope breaks down * Microtubules attach to the kinetochores Homologous pairs move towards the metaphase plate0
5639325850Metaphase One* Pairs of homologous chromosomes are lined at the metaphase plate * Both chromatids are attached to the kinetochore microtubules1
5639325851Anaphase One* Breakdown of proteins allow chromosomes to separate * The homologous chromosomes move towards opposite poles2
5639325852Telophase and Cytokinesis One* Completion of the duplication of chromosomes. Cytokinesis is happening simultaneously, forming tow daughter haploid cells * Nuclear envelope forms3
5639325853Prophase Two* Spindle apparatus forms * Chromatids move towards the metaphase plate4
5639325854Metaphase Two* Chromosomes are positioned at the metaphase plate * The kinetochores of sister chromatids are attached to microtubules5
5639325855Anaphase Two* Proteins that held sister chromatids together break down * Chromatids move towards opposite poles6
5639325856Telophase and Cytokinesis Two* Nuclei forms * The production of four daughter haploid cells are produced7
5639325857Characteran observable heritable feature.8

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
