Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell.
Meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with its own phases.
Meiosis I includes four phases: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I.
Meiosis II also includes four phases: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II.
Add the number of phases from Meiosis I and Meiosis II to determine the total number of phases in meiosis.
