Prophase 1

During prophase 1 in meiosis the chromosomes start to duplicate and cross over. Also the nucleolus starts to disappear and the centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell.
Metaphase 1

The centrioles are now on the opposite end of the cell and the sister chromatids are tightly coiled in the center of the cell and the spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
Anaphase 1

In anaphase 1 the spindle fibers start to pull the chromosomes apart to separate ends of the cell.

The chromosomes are separated from the other pair and now there are two identical cells which is called cytokinesis with half the chromosomes of each pair. The process then starts over starting with Prophase 2.
