① Interphase 1
DNA doubles a s chromosomes replicate by semi -
conservative replication . Individual chromosomes a re invisible .
Centrioles and
organelles replicate , protein synthesis occurs .
Respiration r a te increases to produce more ATP Cell increases

② Prophase 1
Chromosomes condense and become visible .
Chromosomes join together to form a bivalent . This o c c u rs

Cana synapsis) Crossover .
point i s called a chiasmata - Centrioles move to opposite poles .
Spindle fibres form . Nuclear
