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 consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is the reductional division where homologous chromosomes are separated.
During Meiosis I, a single diploid cell divides to form two haploid cells. This is because homologous chromosomes are separated into different cells.
Recall that Meiosis I includes stages such as Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I, leading to the formation of two cells.
At the end of Meiosis I, two cells are produced, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
