| During prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes align, synapse, and cross over. |
| This pattern is generally characterized by nuclear localization during interphase and prophase and association with the spindle midzone during anaphase and telophase. |
| The prophase covers all changes up to the completion of the mitotic figure. |
| Therefore, progression from mitosis into meiotic prophase is spatially organized in a linear fashion extending from the distal end. |
| The events in this stage of the cell cycle leading to cell division are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. |
| The bouquet structure of chromosomes is usually a transitory prophase stage in other eukaryotes. |
