Part II Meiosis


I am back again to now give everyone a quick summary on the second division of meiosis. This can also be called Gamete Formation. In prophase 2 the dna does not replicate, now entering metaphase 2, the chromosomes line up on the equator just like in the first divisional phase of meiosis. During Anaphase 2, the centromeres divide and each sister chromatid heads toward the opposite pole. Finally telophase 2 occurs and cell division is complete. Four haploid daughter cells now appear at the end of meiosis. Here is a picture that breaks down meiosis and that is the end of my post. Hopefully my post helped anyone in the class. New sherpa is Robert!
