In prophase II, the nuclear envelope breaks down and the spindle apparatus forms. To replay the prophase II animation, click the Replay button. Replay ↻. animation. While chromosome duplication took place prior to meiosis I, no new chromosome replication occurs before meiosis II. The centrioles duplicate. read more

Prophase II is the stage of meiosis when the nuclear membrane breaks apart and the spindle apparatus is formed. It is the first stage of the second meiotic division (meiosis II) and follows telophase I. read more

Prophase II meiosis is similar to prophase of mitosis. It is characterize by. Chromatin get condensed and thickened to form chromosomes. Both the chromatids get separate but are attached to each other at a point called centromere or primary constriction. Centioles now begins to move towards opposite poles. read more
