The document summarizes the stages of meiosis. It describes how a diploid cell undergoes two divisions to produce four haploid daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and may exchange genetic material through crossing over. The pairs then separate, with one member of each pair migrating to each pole. In meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate to generate four unique haploid gametes.

6. Prophase IDyad pairs align to create "TETRADS", non-sister chromatids connect and trade sections at a "CHIASMA", a process called "CROSSING OVER".

13. Metaphase ISPINDLE FIBERS attach to each dyad at the KINETOCHORE. Tension from spindle fibre's aligns the tetrads at the cell equator.

15. Anaphase IChiasmatabreak apart and sister chromatids begin migrating toward opposite poles.

21. Prophase IISpindle formation begins and centrosomes begin moving toward poles.

32. Metaphase IITension from spindle fibre's aligns chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

34. Anaphase IICHROMATIDS separate and begin moving to the poles.

40. NUCLEAR ENVELOPES form and chromosomes disperse as CHROMATIN. Meiosis has produced 4 DAUGHTER CELLS, each with 1N chromosomes and 1N DNA. Later, in fertilization, male and female 1N gametes will fuse to form a 2N ZYGOTE. Gamete(1n)
