Understand the purpose of meiosis: Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells from one diploid cell. It is essential for sexual reproduction.
Learn the stages of meiosis: Meiosis consists of two consecutive cell divisions, known as Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with its own phases (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase).
Focus on Meiosis I: During Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, reducing the chromosome number by half. This is the first cell division.
Focus on Meiosis II: During Meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated, similar to mitosis. This is the second cell division.
Conclude that meiosis involves two cell divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II, resulting in four haploid cells from one diploid cell.
