Homologous Chromosomes Nuclear Envelope Move Opposite Spindle Chromatids

Front What are the stages of meiosis 2
Back prophase 2: homologous chromosomes shorten
and thicken.
Nuclear envelope breaks down
centrioles form and move to the
opposite poles
Metaphase 2: Spindle attaches to centromere
Homologous chromosomes align in
centre
Anaphase 2: Spindle contracts causing chromatids
to move to opposite pole
Telophase: Cytoplasm divides
nuclear envelope forms
chromatids become long and thin
4 non-identical gametes produced
