Draw the important structures that identify each phase paying particular attention where needed to chromosomes, centrosomes and both cell and nuclear membranes. Show a cell that has a diploid number of 4 (2n = 4) and color (or otherwise mark) the M and P chromosomes and be sure you show proper tetrad/dyad patterns throughout. Assume it is an animal cell.

  1. Prophase I (late) or Prometaphase I
  2. Metaphase I
  3. Anaphase I
  4. Cytokinesis following telophase I. Show it as a complete telophase I.

    For the remaining diagrams draw only one cell, to make it clearer and easier.

  5. Metaphase II
  6. Anaphase II
  7. Telophase II
