Complete the statements to identify the first two steps of meiosis i. (1 ) the first and longest step of meiosis i is called i. (2)the second step of meiosis i is called i.

The correct answer is (1) prophase I (2) metaphase I.

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the methods of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half of the chromosome number compare to parent cells. Meiosis complete in meiosis 1 and meiosis II. The sub-phases are as fellow ; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

These stages occur in this order only, The first and longest phase is prophase I follow by metaphase I, is the second phase and 3rd phase is anaphase I and telophase I.

Thus, the correct answer is (1) prophase I (2) metaphase I.
