A flipbook I made about meiosis, a cell dividing into four daughter cells. It goes through all of the stages. Enjoy :)

The stages of Meiosis
Diploid Cell (2n)
Prophase 1:
In this stage the chromatids connect
and cross over, this is when the
chromatids trade sections.
Metaphase 1:
In this stage the chromatids line
up in the center of the cell, and
the spindle fibres attach to the
chromatids.
Anaphase 1:
In this stage the chromatids start
moving to opposite ends of the cell as
the spindle fibres pull.
Telophase 1:
In this stage the nuclear membrane
forms again around the chromatid, the
two daughter cells forming are
haploid.
Prophase II:
In this stage the
centrosomes start moving
to opposite sides of each
cell.
Metaphase II:
In this stage the sister chromatids line
up at the center and the
spindle fibres attach and start
pulling on them.
Anaphase II:
This is the stage where the
chromatids seperate and start
moving towards opposite sides
of the cells.
Telophase II:
In this stage the cells start
dividing and the nuclear
membrane reforms
around the chromatids.
Gamete:
Now after meiosis,
there are four
daughter cells which
if male, are four
sperm cells and if
female, are one egg
cell and three other
cells that form
around the egg cell.
