meiosis 2

• what is meiosis 2


  this is when the new haploid cells form meiosis 1 divide again
• what is produced form meiosis 2


  4 genetically different daughter cells
• what is meiosis 2 identical too


  mitosis
• what happens in prophase 2 of meiosis 2

  the centrioles migrate and a new spindle develops at right angles to the previous one
• when i say the centrioles migrate and a new spindle develops at right angles to the previous one what do i mean


  the new centrioles in the haploid cells will split and divide along a right angle to where the previous one divided
• what happens in metaphase 2 in meiosis 2


  the chromosomes align on the equator spindle fibres attach to the centromere
• what process will be happening when the chromosomes align a the equator in metaphase 2


  independent assortment
• why does independent assortment happen


  because the chromatids of the chromosomes can face either pole
• what happens to the spindle fibres during anaphase 2 of meiosis 2


  they shorten
• what happens to the centromeres during anaphase 2 of meiosis 2


  they split and sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles
• what is the first stage of telophase 2 in meiosis 2


  the chromosomes uncoil and lengthen until they are no longer visible under a microscope
• what happens to the spindle fibres during telophase 2


  it breaks down
• what happens to the nuclear membrane and nucleoli during telophase


  they reform
• what is the final stage of meiosis 2


  cytokinesis
• what is produced from cytokineses of meiosis 2


  4 haploid daughter cells
• What is a haploid?


  one set of chromosomes
