Document Summary

Early in the prophase stage the chromatin fibers shorten into chromosomes that are visible under a light microscope. form the meiotic spindle the spindle extends between two opposite poles of the cell. The centromeres split separating the two members of each chromatid pair. As the chromosomes are pulled by the microtubules during anaphase, they appear to be v-shaped because the centromeres lead the way. Which are by this stage at opposite poles of the cell, uncoil and revert to the long, thin, thread- like chromatin form. Meiosis the nuclear membrane dissolves, chromosomes develop, the centrosomes push apart, creating the spindle apparatus. Homologous chromosomes do crossing over some of the spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes" centromeres. The fibers pull the tetrads into a vertical line along the center of the cell. With half the pairs going to one side of the cell and the other half going to the opposite side.
