Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During prophase II of meiosis, the chromosomes become recompacted after interkinesis. They then begin to line up at the metaphase plate and if the nuclear envelope had reformed earlier, it is once again broken down. Telophase I and II are the stages where the nuclear envelope reforms and cytokinesis occurs, while metaphase II is where the chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate but have already been recompacted in prophase II. Prophase I is the stage where homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over.
