Question

What follows the separation of homologs in the first meiotic division?

Answer 1

First meiotic division:

1. The first meiotic division is the first division occurring in the germ cells and forms two independent daughter cells.
2. The separation of the homologs in the first meiotic division is followed by the entry into meiosis II simultaneously.
3. In mitosis, the main function of meiosis II is to segregate the sister chromatids.
4. Homolog segregation in anaphase I is followed by disassembly of the first meiotic spindle.
5. Centrosome starts to duplicate and separate to begin the formation of the second meiotic spindle.
6. Sister-chromatid kinetochores are no longer fused with each other in meiosis I and are attached to the spindle with the correct bi-orientation.
