Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I of meiosis and crossover can occur, leading to genetic recombination between the paired chromosomes. Anaphase I is when homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles. Metaphase II is when sister chromatids align at the equator of the cell. Prophase II is when a new spindle forms and nuclear envelopes break down. Telophase II is when the nuclear membrane reforms around the four sets of chromosomes.
