Metaphase II
Metaphase I Spindle fibres attach to centrioles and
Spindle fibres attach to centrioles and centromeres of chromatids
centromeres of homologous pairs Each centromere attaches to both poles
Each centromere attaches to both poles by spindle fibres
by spindle fibres Chromatids line up at the equator
Homologous pairs line up at the equator
Anaphase II
Independent assortment occurs
Centromeres divide
