Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres and move as a unit towards the same pole, while the homologue moves towards the opposite pole. Telophase I and Cytokinesis . The spindle apparatus continues to separate homologous chromosome pairs until the chromosomes reach the poles. Each pole now has a haploid set of chromosomes that are each still composed of two sister chromatids attached at the centromere. Usually, cytokinesis occurs simultaneously with Telophase I, forming two haploid daughter cells.
Cleavage furrows form in animal cells, and cell plates form in plant cells.
Regardless of whether a cell enters interkinesis, no DNA replication occurs before meiosis I . If the cell entered interkinesis, the nuclear envelope and nucleoli disperse. Spindle apparatus forms and chromosomes move towards the metaphase II plate. Metaphase II . Chromosomes align singly on the metaphase plate.
