| 8451127726 | Prophase | (longest stage) The chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell | 62 | |
| 8451203964 | Metaphase | The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and become connected to the spindle fiber at their centromere | 63 | |

| 8451359356 | Metaphase I | The pairs of homologous chromosomes line up in the center of the cell and the centromere of each chromatid pair attaches to one spindle fibre | 70 | |
| 8451359357 | Anaphase I | Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell | 71 | |
| 8451364707 | Telophase I | The cytoplasm divides and two new cells form and each new cell has one duplicated chromosome from each similar pair | 72 | |
