Phases in meiosis I

Meiosis is a process where germ cells divide to produce gametes, such as sperm and egg cells.

For example let's take a germ cell, and let's give it two chromosomes from the father, and two chromosomes from the mother, this is considered a diploid since there are four chromosomes.

Interphase

This germ cell will go through interphase, and now the chromosomes from the father will have connected together via a centromere, but it is still one chromosome, but it just has double the genetic material, this is now made of two sister chromatids but since there are two chromosomes and they both went through interphase we have double, two sister chromatids, they have double the DNA but they have the same genetic information. The same thing happens to the mother's chromosome too.

Prophase

The beginning of miosis I is prophase I, each of the chromosomes in the Holomogous pair, has two sister chromatids so you have four chromatids, this is sometimes called a Tetrat, in this tetrat, the DNA in it could be code for eye colour, skin colour, or height genes.
These sister chromatids can overlap and cause the father chromosome to recombine with the mother chromosome, it might have been coded for similar genes, but now it has the mother's DNA, and now the father chromosome has the mother's genes.

Metaphase

In Metaphase I: The microtubules are now forming to bring everything closer together, in the cellular membrane the Centrosomes are on the left and right side of the membrane, and there are two chromosomes, aka two sister chromatids and they have some chromosomal cross-overs, the father chromosome has some genes from the mother chromosome. The mother chromosome has some chromosomal cross-over from the father. And some normal father and mother chromosomes without chromosomal cross-over.

Then the Microtubules  push the Centromeres (connected to the Chromasomes) and Centrosomes away from each other

Anaphase 

In Mitosis the Sister Chromatids get pulled apart to become two daughter Chromosomes, in Anaphase the Chromatids stay together, instead the Homologous pairs get pulled apart, the Centrosomes pull the Chromatids apart and to each end of the cell, and the way they pull the Chromatids is random.

Telophase

The Homologous pairs start unravelling into their Chromatin state, and then the Nuclear membrane forms around the two unravelled Chromatins, and the microtubules dissolve and turn into Haploid cells, which have a "Haploid number" of two Chromasones each Chromasones have two sister Chromatids, then the sister Chromatids from each of the Chromasones and turns them into to daughter Chromasones.
