Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis I (Reduction) and Meiosis II, two consecutive nuclear divisions, occur (Division). 4 haploid cells are formed by Meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two divisions in meiosis; the first division is meiosis I: the number of cells is doubled but the number of chromosomes is not. This results in 1/2 as many chromosomes per cell. The second division is meiosis II: this division is like mitosis; the number of chromosomes does not get reduced.
Detailed explanation-3: -In meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate, making haploid cells with non-duplicated chromosomes.
