Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of gametes or spores.
Meiosis consists of two sequential stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each stage has its own phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Meiosis II resembles a typical mitotic division where the sister chromatids are separated. Each of the two cells from Meiosis I divides again.
At the end of Meiosis II, each of the two cells divides to produce a total of four genetically distinct haploid daughter cells.
