What is the function of mitosis and meiosis?
What are the phases of meiosis?
The phases of meiosis are meiosis I and meiosis II. Each of these phases has four subphases: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic information during crossing-over in prophase I, then separate in anaphase I, which results in two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes but each containing two chromatids. Meiosis II is similar to mitosis, except that the sister chromatids separate in anaphase II, resulting in four haploid gamete cells.
