Metaphase
Definition
Chomosomes with spindle fiberes attached move to the middle of the cell
Term
Anaphase
Definition
centromeres divide to convert each sister chromatid into a chromosome
Term
Telophase
Definition
chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell and decondense; nuclear envelopes reform; cells start to take shape

Term
The recombination in meiosis...
Definition
results in a greater increase in diversity as orientation can change
Term
Haploid gametes yield from
Definition
meiosis
Term
After Telophase 1/ Interkinesis
Definition
All chromomes are still in duplicate state, but cells are haploid (meiosis)
