Detailed explanation-1: -The process of meiosis is divided into 2 stages.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this video Paul Andersen explains the major phases of meiosis including: interphase, prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, cytokinesis, interphase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is a cell division in which the parent cell divides to produce four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes. It is also known as reductional division. It is crucial for reproduction because meiosis is the sole way for germ cells to form sperm or eggs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis results in two nuclei that are identical to the original nucleus. Meiosis, on the other hand, results in four nuclei, each having half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. In animals, meiosis only occurs in the cells that give rise to the sex cells (gametes), i.e., the egg and the sperm.
