prophase
Spindle fibers form during the prophase stage of meiosis 1.
Diakinesis is the last stage of prophase during meiosis. Diplonema is the doubled form of the chromosome strand during the diplotene stage of meiosis.
An aster forms during the prophase stage of mitosis. Asters are composed of microtubules radiating from the centrosomes located at opposite poles of the cell. They help to organize and separate the chromosomes during cell division.
No, prometaphase is a stage in mitosis, not meiosis. In meiosis, there is a prophase I stage that is similar to prometaphase in mitosis.
The chromosome number is halved during the first stage of meiosis, known as meiosis I.

Synapsis is the process where replicated homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads during meiosis.
Cells starting mitosis and meiosis begin with a stage called interphase.

The stage of meiosis II that is skipped is interphase. Meiosis II immediately follows meiosis I and consists of prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
Crossing over occurs during the prophase I stage of meiosis.
