Question

identify the phases of meiosis i described below.

ogous chromosomes are separated.

ogous chromosome are paired.

ar envelopes form around separated chromosomes.

ogous chromosomes line up on the equator.

Explanation:

• Homologous chromosomes are separated: In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
• Homologous chromosomes are paired: During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis) and may exchange genetic material (crossing - over).
• Nuclear envelopes form around separated chromosomes: In telophase I, the separated chromosomes (now at the poles) start to de - condense and nuclear envelopes begin to form around them.
• Homologous chromosomes line up on the equator: In metaphase I, homologous chromosome pairs line up at the equatorial plane (metaphase plate) of the cell.

Answer:

• Homologous chromosomes are separated: anaphase I
• Homologous chromosomes are paired: prophase I
• Nuclear envelopes form around separated chromosomes: telophase I
• Homologous chromosomes line up on the equator: metaphase I
