Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell.
Recognize that meiosis consists of two main stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes.
In Meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four genetically distinct haploid cells.
Conclude that there are two rounds of cell division in meiosis: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
