Answer:
Meiosis 1 is when the homologous chromosomes separate and crossing over occurs. Meiosis 2 is when the sister chromatids seperate and produces 4 haploid daughter cells.
Explanation:
The phases of Meiosis 1 are, Interphase, Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1 & Cytokinesis.
Interphase: DNA is replicated and organic material is synthesized.
Prophase 1: Chromosomes pair up
Metaphase 1: Crossing Over occurs and chromosomes line up at the equator.
Anaphase 1: Chromosomes pull apart
Telophase 1 & Cytokinesis: Cell pinches to both sides and begins to pull apart as the cytoplasm is copied.
The phases of Meiosis 2 are, Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2 & Cytokinesis.
Prophase 2: Two daughter cells are formed
Metaphase 2: Chromosomes line up at equator of both cells.
Anaphase 2: Sister chromatids are pulled apart in each cell.
Telophase 2 & Cytokinesis: The cells pinch to both sides as the cytoplasm is replicated and four granddaughter cells are formed.
