Question

Meiosis does PMAT twice! That means there is prophase I and prophase II. There is metaphase I and metaphase II. Etc… If the cartoon below has chromosomes in the middle of the cell, how would you know whether it was in metaphase I or metaphase II

Answer 1

The cartoon shows Metaphase I.

Metaphase I has homologous chromosomes that line up at the middle while Metaphase II has single chromosomes that line up at the middle.
