MEIOSIS

This is a process by which a cell divides twice producing 4 cells. These cells contains half of the original genetic material. Sex cells usually undergo these process. During meiosis 1 a cell divides twice producing four daughter cells. There 5 phases in meiosis 1 which are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and cytokinesis.The second time the cell divides is called meiosis II. These also have phases as the meiosis I but cellular changes is different.
