Chromosome number: 8

Chromosome composition: chromatin

Type of chromosomes in each pole: metacentric and subcentric

Telophase
During telophase the chromosomes will arrive at the cell poles, chromotin will start to decoil and the nucleous will start to reform. The cell will then proceed to
cytokinesis.

Chromosome number: 6
Chromosome composition: homologous pair/tetrads

Prophase I
Leptotene- This is the first stage of prophase I and the shortest phase of prophase I. During this phase the chromosomes condense and become compact and
visible hence making it possible to distinguish between sister chromatids. The chromosomes appear like strings with beads and the beads are known as
chromomeres.Each of the sister chromatids gets attached to the nuclear envelopes.
Zygotene- This is the phase where homologous chromosomes associate closely to forms pairs of chromosomes, a mechanism known as synapsis. The pairs of
chromosomes have four chromatids (tetrads).
Pachytene- This is the phase where the cross over of genetic materials takes place between non-sister chromatids i.e pairs of homologous chromosomes. This
forms chiasmata.
Diplotene- This is the stage of synaptonemal complex disappearance while the homologous pairs remain attached at the chiasmata.
Diakinesis- The fifth and final phase of prophase I. It sets up the cell for metaphase. At this stage the nucleolus and the nuclear envelope dissolves allowing the
centrioles that form the mitotic spindle, to migrate freely.
