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 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 within the two daughter cells are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four genetically distinct haploid cells.
Conclude that there are two nuclear divisions in meiosis: one in Meiosis I and one in Meiosis II.
