Meiosis

We will be reviewing meiosis and what happens in each stage.

• You will be taking a few notes on PMAT
• You will write a paragraph on why mitosis is important
• You will take a short multiple-choice quiz on Cellular Reproduction on Google Forms

Prophase

• Nucleus disappears
• Chromatin condenses
• Centrioles start to form

Metaphase

• Centrioles arrive at poles
• Spindle fibers stretch across cell
• Chromosomes line up in the middle of cell
• Spindle fibers attach to centromere

Anaphase

• Spindle fibers contract
• Sister chromaids are pulled to opposite poles

Telophase

• Chromosomes group together at opposite poles
• Nuclear membrane reforms 
• Cytoplasm begins to pinch

Mitosis is important so living things can live. We need our cells for almost everything.
