Prophase
Nuclear membrane disintegrates and spindle pole forms
Metaphase 1
Chromosomes begin to line up in the middle of the cell and spindle fibers begin to form
What is meiosis vs mitosis
Meiosis is producing 4 gametes each with 23 chromosomes in them. Mitosis is cell devision and DNA replication.
Interphase
DNA replication is occuring
Diploid number
The amount of chromosomes in any given when its not dividing (eg. in humans the diploid number would be 2n=46)
Haploid number
The amount of chromosomes in a gamete cell (eg. in humans n=23)
