Detailed explanation-1: -In each round of division, cells experience four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Prophase I is the longest stage of meiosis. During the phase of prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and exchange DNA (homologous recombination). This frequently results in a chromosomal hybrid.

Detailed explanation-2: -In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

Detailed explanation-5: -In meiosis I, the division is reductional, while in meiosis II, the division is equational. In reduction division, the chromosome number is reduced from diploid (46 chromosomes) to haploid (23 chromosomes) state. Also known as first meiotic division or first meiosis.
