During metaphase of meiosis 2, or metaphase II, there are 3 major points. 1st is the chromosomes are positioned on the metaphase plate as in mitosis. 2nd is, because of the crossing over in meiosis I, the two sister chromatids of each chromosome are not genetically identical. 3rd is the kinetochores of sister chromatids are attached to microtubules extending from opposite poles.

What happens directly after prophase?
Metaphase
What happens after metaphase?
the cell becomes haploid
Do meisosis and mitosis have metaphase?
Mitosis for sure has metaphase. Scientists are guessing that meiosis has it too, but they combine it and make it "prometaphase," because prophase and metaphase happens so fast in meiosis.
How does the number of chromosomes in metaphase of mitosis compare to the number of duplicated chromosomes in metaphase 2 of meiosis?
because in metaphase 2 of meiosis there are 2 different cells, which means the chromosomes duplicated
What happens at the end of metaphase 1?
This is when the chromosomes become new ones.
During what phase do the chromosomes move to the center of the cell aligned on the spindle apparatus?
This happens during metaphase. I remember this phase because it is the move phaseof mitosis. The m from move matches the m from metaphase.In mitosis, it happens during metaphase.In meiosis, it happens twice and occurs in metaphase 1 and metaphase 2.
What happens directly after prophase?
Metaphase
What happens after pro-phase?
Metaphase
What. Happens directly after metaphase?
Anaphase
Differences between metaphase 1 and metaphase 2?
1. In metaphase 1 spindle formation is completed In metaphase 2 spindle formation take place 2. Bivalent are involved in metaphase 1 Bivalents are not involved in metsphase 2
Describes what happens during metaphase?
Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.
What is is the difference between metaphase 1 and 2?
Metaphase 1 The chromosomes line up on the equatorial (metaphase) plate. Metaphase 2 Kinetochores of the paired chromatids.
What happens after metaphase?
the cell becomes haploid
Do meisosis and mitosis have metaphase?
Mitosis for sure has metaphase. Scientists are guessing that meiosis has it too, but they combine it and make it "prometaphase," because prophase and metaphase happens so fast in meiosis.
What metaphase does nondisjunction occur in Metaphase 1 or metaphase 2?
Non-disjunction is the failure of a pair of chromosomes or chromatids to separate. Since this happens in both metaphase I and II, non-disjunction can occur in either stage.In metaphase I it is the failure of the two homologous chromosomes in the pair to separate. In this case all of the gametes will be affected.In metaphase II it is the failure of the two sister chromatids to separate. In this case only half of the gametes are affected.Non-disjunction is the cause of a number of genetic conditions eg Down syndrome, Triple-X syndrome.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondisjunction
What happens to a cells DNA in interphase prophase and metaphase?
they replicate
How does the number of chromosomes in metaphase of mitosis compare to the number of duplicated chromosomes in metaphase 2 of meiosis?
because in metaphase 2 of meiosis there are 2 different cells, which means the chromosomes duplicated
