Final answer:
The two cells produced by meiosis I enter meiosis II without a round of DNA replication beforehand. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, forming four haploid gametes, similar to the process of mitosis for haploid cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two cells produced by meiosis I now enter a second meiosis division, known as meiosis II. Unlike the first division, neither cell goes through a round of DNA replication before entering meiosis II. In these species, before entering meiosis II, cells may go through a brief interphase known as interkinesis, which lacks an S phase, meaning chromosomes are not duplicated.
During meiosis II, the sister chromatids within the two daughter cells separate, resulting in the formation of four new haploid gametes. This process is analogous to mitosis, though each dividing cell has only one set of homologous chromosomes, with each cell having half the number of sister chromatids to separate compared to a diploid cell undergoing mitosis.
