In prophase I the homologous chromosomes pair and form tetrads, during which crossing over occurs and genetic material is exchanged between the homologous chromosomes.
Refer to the related link for an animated illustration.
Tetrads line up in the middle of the cell during metaphase I.
Mitosis does its crossing over in prophase
1. Interphase 2. Prophase 1 3. Metaphase 1 4. Anaphase 1 5. Telophase 1 and Cytokiesis 6. Prophase 2 7. Metaphase 2 8. Anaphase 2 9. Telophase 2 and Cytokiesis
1. Interphase 2. Prophase 3. Metaphase 4. Anaphase 5. Telophase 6. Cell division (cytokinesis in animal cells and cell wall formation in plant cells) Note that 2, 3, 4 and 5 together form nuclear division.
Are you talking about Meiosis 1 and meiosis 2? If you are the steps are Interphase, prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1/cytokinesis, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, and telophase 2/cytokinesis
Tetrads line up in the middle of the cell during metaphase I.
There is still only 1 cell during prophase.
Sperm are all 1N (half the complement of chromosomes of the original male). Prophase 1 in meiosis the cell is 4N Prophase 2 in meiosis the cells are 2N Final division creates 1N cells.

In mitosis each daughter cell ends up with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell.
Interphase - which includes the G1, S and G2 phases.
if homologous chromosomes didn't pair up in Prophase 1 the DNA between the parents isn't distributed equally to the offspring, or variation would not occur.

In mitosis the nuclear envelope begins to break in prophase. In meiosis the nuclear envelope begins to break in prophase 1.
