Miosis
Prophase 1 Miosis.
Prophase 1 in Miosis is divided into 5 stages:
- Leptotene, which is the stage where duplicated chromosomes start to condense.
- Zygotene, this stage involves the bivalent forming and crossing over starts to occur.
- Pachytene, the synapsis is complete and therefore corssing over ocurs.
- Diplotene, Chiasma is now visible and the synaptonemal complex disappears.
- Diakinesis, Bivalent is now ready for the next stage of miosis... Metaphase.
