Detailed explanation-1: -To accomplish this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis, involves a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is characterized by one round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division, resulting in haploid germ cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sister chromatids separate during a second round, called meiosis II. Since cell division occurs twice during meiosis, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm). In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division and produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis II is a mitotic division of each of the haploid cells produced in meiosis I. During prophase II, the chromosomes condense, and a new set of spindle fibers forms. The chromosomes begin moving toward the equator of the cell.
