Chromosomes are counted differently depending on the stage of the cell cycle. To count the number of chromosomes, one could count the number of functional centromere. The number of DNA molecules is usually the number of chromatids.

What are the description of prphase 1 to telophase 2?

During prophase 1, chromosomes condense, homologous chromosomes pair up, and crossing over occurs. In metaphase 1, homologous chromosomes line up at the cell's center. Anaphase 1 sees homologous chromosomes separate, while telophase 1 results in two daughter cells. Then, in meiosis 2, the process is similar to mitosis, with chromosome separation into four haploid cells.
