How are chromosomes divided in meiosis?

Then in anaphase II, the chromosomes separate at the centromeres. The spindle fibers pull the separated chromosomes toward each pole of the cell. Finally, during telophase II, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclear membranes. Cytokinesis follows, dividing the cytoplasm of the two cells. read more

Meiosis is a compex process. The whole process has been primarily divided into meiosis-1 and meiosis-2. Meiosis 1 further divided into interface and mitotic phase-1. read more

In meiosis, the chromosome or chromosomes duplicate (during interphase) and homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information (chromosomal crossover) during the first division, called meiosis I. The daughter cells divide again in meiosis II, splitting up sister chromatids to form haploid gametes. read more

During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell – they are haploid. Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes (eggs in females and sperm in males). Meiosis can be divided into nine stages. read more
