Meiosis Anaphase I and Telophase I http://www.anselm.edu/homepage/jpitocch/genbio/meiosisphases.JPG
Anaphase I • Anaphase I begins when the two homologous chromosomes of each bivalent separate and start moving toward opposite poles of the cell as a result of the action of the spindle. • Notice that in anaphase I the sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres and move together toward the poles. This is the key difference between mitosis and meiosis after the first metaphase. http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/meiosis/anai.html
Telophase I • At Telophase I a haploid set of chromosomes is at each pole, with each chromosome still having two chromatids. A nuclear envelope reforms around each chromosome set, the spindle disappears, and cytokinesis follows. • Many cells that undergo rapid meiosis do not decondense the chromosomes at the end of telophase I and move on to meiosis II. http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/meiosis/anai.html
