Prophase Two

Prophase II is a stage of cell division in meiosis that involves the condensation of chromosomes

Chromosome condensation is the process of compacting long chromatin strands into short, thread-like chromosomes

and the breakdown of the nuclear envelope

The nuclear envelope's main function is to protect the nucleus and control the exchange of materials between the nucleus and the cytoplasm

Chromosomes condense: Chromosomes condense into visible X-shaped structures

Nuclear membrane dissolves: The nuclear membrane breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to become visible

Spindle fibers form: Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell and begin to form spindle fibers. 

Chromosomes move: The chromosomes begin to move toward the equator of the cell. 

Kinetochore proteins assemble: Kinetochore proteins assemble on the outer chromatids of each chromosome

Meiotic spindle attaches: The meiotic spindle attaches to the kinetochores.
