it starts out with interphase, which is where the cell grows, reproduces it genome into two sister chromatids, which attach into tetrads (4 connected chromosomes, two sets of each) and gets ready for meiosis. Meiosis is when the nucleus actually break aparts and it starts with prophase, where the mitotic spindle (think of it as a pulley) starts to form, the nucleus breaks up. In metaphase, the mitotic spindle (made of microfilaments or long spaghetti like proteins) is complete, attached to kinetochores in the centromeres (the attach places of the sister chromatids) or other microfilaments. The spindle then starts to push on other microfilaments in anaphase, elongating the cell and breaking apart the tetrads, sending one sister chromatid to each side. . Telophase is when the new nuclei reform and gets ready to prepare mitosis to make sex cells. Cytokinesis, not part of meiosis but definitely related is when the two cells seperate due to a groove that eventually splits the cell into two. The groove is made by microfilaments tightening like a thread around the middle of the cell. Then the two cells undergo mitosis, splitting the two sister chromatids into four haploid cells. The first part is called meiosis 1 and the second is meiosis 2 (the mitosis part)

the process of meiosis has 9 steps

1 prophase 1

2 metaphase 1

3 anaphase 1

4 telophase1

5 prophase 11

6 metaphase 11

7 anaphase 11

8 telophase 11

9 four cells

prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and then telophase I. This depends on the book or the professor though, some include early and late phases.

What are the main steps in the diploid life cycle?

The main steps in the diploid life cycle are: meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to zygote, to diploid individuals, to a reproductive cellIf you are mainly concentrating on the steps I guess you could say Meiosis and Fertilization.

YES


What are 3 things Meiosis and Mitosis have in common?

Meiosis and Mitosis both use centrioles, they both have the same process(except for a few other steps in Meiosis) and they both split cells.


How are mitosis are meiosis similar?

They have many similar steps they both have a prophase and an anaphase
