Steps in Meiosis: Prophase I- Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome (Know about Crossing over and Tetrads). Metaphase I and Anaphase I- In metaphase I the paired homologous chromosomes are lined up across the center of the cell. In Anaphase I the spindle fibers pull each homologous chromosome pair toward opposite ends of the cell. Telophase I and Cytokinesis- In Telophase I nuclear membrane forms and in Cytokinesis is when the cell is turned into two new daughter cells.
Meiosis II
Prophase II- When the cell enters this phase, the chromosomes starts to become visible. Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, and Cytokinesis- Final four phases of meiosis II are similar to those in meiosis I, but the result ends up with four haploid daughter cells.
You should look over pages 323-327 in the Biology Textbook because it talks all about Meiosis and stuff you would need to know in the test.
