Chromosomes Describe Meiosis Marks Shorten/Thicken/Condense Associate Homologous/(Described Pairs

In meiosis, chromosomes shorten, thicken, and pair up as homologous pairs (bivalents), align at the equator, then homologous chromosomes separate to opposite poles, and in the second division, chromatids separate.

În meioză, cromozomii se scurtează, se îngroașă și se asociază în perechi omoloage (bivalenți), se aliniază la ecuator, apoi cromozomii omologi se separă spre poli opuși, iar în diviziunea a doua, cromatidele se separă.
