Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce other new cells containing half of the original amount of genetic information (haploid daughter cells). They are know as our sex cells (eggs and sperm), and for all the organisms who have sexual reproduction. The meiosis can be divided into nine stages, these stages are:
Meiosis I
- Interphase
- Prophase I
- Metaphase I
- Anaphase I
- Telophase I and cytokinesis
Meiosis II
- Prophase II
- Metaphase II
- Anaphase II
- Telophase II and cytokinesis
The meiosis is also divided in two parts. The first part (meiosis I) is when one cell divides into two, and the second (meiosis II) these daughter cells are diveded into four granddaughter cells.
