"using the designated letters list the stages of meiosis in sequence"

1.      Prophase I

-          The chromosomes shorten, and the nuclear envelope breaks down where crossing-over happens.

2.      Metaphase I

-          Pairs of homologous chromosomes interchange to the equator of the cell.

3.      Anaphase I

-          Homologous chromosomes move to the opposite poles of the cell.

4.      Telophase I and Cytokinesis

-          Chromosomes meet at the poles of the cells and the cytoplasm splits.

5.      Prophase II

-          A different spindle forms around the chromosomes.

6.      Metaphase II

-          Chromosomes stroke at the equator.

7.      Anaphase II

-          Centromeres will divide and chromatids will gather to the opposite poles of the cells.

8.      Telophase II and Cytokinesis

-          A nuclear envelope will form around each set of chromosomes and the cytoplasm distributes.
