What Is Meiosis?
3. Metaphase I
The next stage in the process is known as the metaphase I. In this stage, the pairs of chromosomes line up with each other at the center of the cell, which is also known as the equator of the cell. At this stage of the process, the centrioles are now on opposite sides of the cell to each other.
At this point, the centrioles will also have the meiotic spindles extending outward from each one. The fibers of the meiotic spindles also attach to each of the pairs of chromosomes. This allows them to take a grip on the chromosomes in preparation for the next phase.
