the cell becomes haploid
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.
Metaphase
No, homologous chromosomes do not pair up during metaphase 2 as they do in metaphase 1. In metaphase 2, individual chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate.
No, during metaphase II of meiosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up as they do in metaphase I. Instead, individual chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate.
In metaphase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes line up singly.
Anaphase
Metaphase
Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.
after metaphase the chromosomes rip or break in the middle after they have lined up in metaphase and start to drift to opposite sides of the nucleus
A metaphase cell is a stage in the cell cycle. It happens when a chromosome is most highly condensed and hence it is easiest to distinguish and to study the cell.
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.
pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (including cytokinesis)
Both cyclin A and Cdk remain undegraded
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.
Metaphase
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
