Exercise 16.1 Describing meiosis
1, 2, 3
Sequence Name of stage Events during this stage
3 anaphase 1 Centromeres split and chromatids are pulled to the
poles by the spindle fibres.
6 metaphase 2 Chromatids arrive at the poles and nuclear membranes
form around them.
1 prophase 1 * Pairs of homologous chromosomes line up on the
equator of the spindle.
4 telophase 1 Individual chromosomes, each made of a pair of
chromatids joined at a centromere, line up on the
equator of the spindle.
5 prophase 2 Homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to
the poles by the spindle fibres.
8 telophase 2 Homologous chromosomes form groups at either end
of the cell; a nuclear membrane may form.
2 metaphase 1 * Chromosomes condense and become visible; the
homologous chromosomes associate to form bivalents.
7 anaphase 2 The nuclear membrane breaks down, and individual
chromosomes are visible.

The chestnut foal must have the
genotype ee, but we cannot tell which
alleles he has for the A/a gene.
He must therefore have inherited an
e allele from both his mother and his
father. But both of them have black in
their coats, so they must also have an
