What are the two stages of meiosis?
Meiosis consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Prophase 1
Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments through a process called crossing over, which increases genetic diversity.
Metaphase I
Paired homologous chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
Anaphase I
The homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase I and Cytokinesis
The cell divides into two daughter cells, each containing one chromosome from each homologous pair.
Prophase II
The chromosomes, now consisting of two sister chromatids, condense again, and the spindle apparatus forms anew.
Metaphase II
The chromosomes align along the equatorial plane.
Anaphase II
The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
The cells divide, resulting in four genetically diverse haploid gametes
What is the main result of meiosis?
The main result of meiosis is the production of four genetically diverse haploid gametes. This genetic diversity is achieved through independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over during Meiosis I.
