Prophase-I It is more complicated and prolonged as compared to the similar stage of mitosis. In this phase, chromosomes are not distinguishable because they are often seen as heterochromatic (heteropycnotic) bodies Anaphase-I The homologous chromosomes break their connections and separate out. It is called disjunction Interphase It is the phase of cell cycle in which the cell spends the majority of its time in preparing itself for cell division. It is the time between two mitotic or meiotic cell cycles Metaphase-I A chromatic fibrous bipolar spindles are formed in the areas of dividing nuclei. The spindles are arranged in isobilateral or tetrahedral fashion. The chromosomes arrange themselves at equator
