Study Notes
Meiosis I
- Prophase I:
- Nuclear envelope disappears
- Chromosomes condense into dense form with classic shape
- Chromosomal crossover occurs between homologous pairs, adding variation for sexual reproduction
- Metaphase I:
- Chromosomes line up along the cell's axis
- Centromeres attach to microtubules, which push centrosomes away from each other
- Microtubules attach to kinetochores on chromosomes, moving them around the cell
- Anaphase I:
- Homologous pairs of chromosomes get pulled apart, but sister chromatids stay together
- This differs from mitosis, where sister chromatids get pulled apart
- The split is random, adding more variation to gametes
- Telophase I:
- Homologous pairs are fully split apart and at opposite ends of the cell
- Chromosomes begin to unravel into chromatin state
- Nuclear membrane starts to form again
- Cytokinesis begins, eventually separating into two cells
- Meiosis I outcome:
- Two haploid cells with a haploid number of two chromosomes each
- Each chromosome has two sister chromatids, to be split in Meiosis II
