Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of gametes or spores.
Recognize that meiosis consists of two consecutive cell divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, reducing the chromosome number from diploid to haploid.
In meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four haploid cells.
Therefore, the process of meiosis involves two distinct cell divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
