Part 2: Study of meiosis
Background In meiosis, one diploid cell divides to produce four haploid daughter cells.
Information Meiosis consists of two sub-division i.e. meiosis-I and meiosis-II. Each sub-
division is further divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Meiosis
Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I
Telophase I Prophase II Metaphase II
Anaphase II Telophase II Four cells
