Question

sequencing/organizing information
answer the questions below concerning the following diagram.
what full structure is located at the pointer?
sequence the cells above that are in meiosis i and ii.
match the letter of the description that is the best for each stage of meiosis listed below
answer phase whats going on
metaphase i a a new spindle forms around the chromosomes
prophase ii b chromatids remain attached at their centromeres as the spindle fibers move the homologous chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell
telophase i c a nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes, the spindle breaks down, and the cytoplasm divides, resulting in four haploid cells
metaphase ii d chromosomes gather at the poles, the cytoplasm divides
telophase ii e the nuclear envelope breaks down; genetic material is exchanged through crossing - over
anaphase ii f chromosomes line up at the equator
prophase i g pairs of homologous chromosomes line up at the equator
anaphase i h centromeres divide; enabling the chromatids, now called chromosomes, to move to opposite poles of the cell

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Metaphase I

In Metaphase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up at the equator. So for Metaphase I, the answer is G.

Step2: Identify Prophase II

In Prophase II, a new spindle forms around the chromosomes. So for Prophase II, the answer is A.

Step3: Identify Telophase I

In Telophase I, a nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes, the spindle breaks down, and the cytoplasm divides (but results in two haploid - like cells from one diploid cell at this stage, not four yet). So for Telophase I, the answer is C.

Step4: Identify Metaphase II

In Metaphase II, chromosomes line up at the equator. So for Metaphase II, the answer is F.

Step5: Identify Telophase II

In Telophase II, chromosomes gather at the poles, the cytoplasm divides resulting in four haploid cells. So for Telophase II, the answer is D.

Step6: Identify Anaphase II

In Anaphase II, centromeres divide; enabling the chromatids, now called chromosomes, to move to opposite poles of the cell. So for Anaphase II, the answer is H.

Step7: Identify Prophase I

In Prophase I, the nuclear envelope breaks down; genetic material is exchanged through crossing - over. So for Prophase I, the answer is E.

Step8: Identify Anaphase I

In Anaphase I, chromatids remain attached at their centromeres as the spindle fibers move the homologous chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. So for Anaphase I, the answer is B.

Answer:

Metaphase I: G
Prophase II: A
Telophase I: C
Metaphase II: F
Telophase II: D
Anaphase II: H
Prophase I: E
Anaphase I: B
