• 1st Stage

  Prophase: Crossing over occurs

  Metaphase: Homologous chromosomes line up at the center

  Anaphase: moves to the opposite place

  Telophase: cytoplasm divides
• 2nd stage

  Prophase: new spindle forms

  Metaphase: lines up at the equator

  Anaphase: divides and moves to the opposite pole

  Telophase: cytoplasm divides
