INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the table below by providing the description and highlighting the events in each of the
phases of meiosis I and II, and illustrating these events (you can use coloring pens/materials in doing this).

Phases of Meiosis I and II Description Drawing/ Illustration

● Prophase 1 is a process
that is involved 5 stages
Prophase I namely, leptotene,
zygotene, pachytene,
diplotene, and diakinesis,
and the first stage of the
meiotic division. When
homologous
chromosomes pair and
form synapses, crossing-
over can occur and the
chromosomes can
recombine to create non-
identical haploid
chromatids.

Five stages:

● Leptotene stage - The

chromosome emerges as
chromatin condenses.

● Zygote stage - Synapsis

begins with a
synaptonemal complex
forming between
homologous
chromosomes

● Pachytene stage –
Synapsis is coplete.
Crossing over take place of
genetic material appearing
between non-sister
chromatids

● Diplotene stage – The

synapsis or synaptonemal
complex starts to dissolve
and A process known as
terminalization begins to
separate the homologous
 chromosomes.

● Diakinesis stage – The

chiasmata go through
terminlization as the
homologous
chromosomes continue to
separate. The homologous
have been shortened and
condensed.

● The chromosomes start to

condense again, and the
Prophase II nuclear membrane and
nucleolus break down or
simply disappear. The
formation of spindle fibers
begins.

● Metaphase I is the second

stage in meiosis I. Along
Metaphase I the cell's center or either
side of the equatorial
plate, homologous pairs of
chromosomes align.

● In Metaphase II the
chromosomes line up at
Metaphase II the equatorial plate. The
kinetochores are then
attached to the
centromere of each sister
chromatid, preparing to
move themselves at
opposite poles.

● Anaphase I is the third

stage in meiosis, where
Anaphase I the homologous
chromosomes separate in
this stage. The sister
chromatids are still there
on each chromosome, and
some of the chromatids
have exchanged DNA in
them from the crossing
over.

● In Anaphase II, the sister

chromatids begin to
Anaphase II separate, with each sister
chromatid moving to the
opposite pole.
 ● Telophase I is the fourth
or final stage of meiosis,
Telophase 1 The homologous
chromosomes travel to
the cell's opposing poles
with only half as many
chromosomes as normal,
but they still have pairs of
connected chromatids.
The nuclear membrane
begins to emerge once
more. At the same time
that telophase 1 appears
Cytokinesis occurs to
complete the creation of
two haploid daughter
cells.

● In Telophase II, Where the

chromosomes uncoil, and
Telophase II four haploid cells are
formed. Finally,
cytokinesis splits the cells,
producing four haploid
cells and two diploid
daughter cells from the
product of mitosis.
