Interphase phase is the phase before meiosis begins, genetic material is duplicated. The first division of meiosis is prophase 1 which is duplicated chromatin condenses. Each chromosome consists of two, closely associated sister chromatids. Crossing over can occur during the latter part of this stage. Metaphase 1 is homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Anaphase 1 homologous pairs separate with sister chromatids remaining together. Telophase 1 two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair.

Prophase I : DNA coils tightly into chromosomes.

Metaphase I : Tetrads line up randomly in the middle of the dividing cell.

Anaphase I : Homologous chromosomes go to opposite poles of the dividing cell

Telophase I and Cytokinesis I : Chromosomes get to the opposite spots of the cell, then cytokinesis starts.

With Meiosis 1, diploid cells are reduced to half, producing haploid cells, with Meiosis 2, it begins with 2 haploid cells, but in the end a nuclear membrane begins to reforms around each haploid set of chromosomes, for both Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2
