Answer:step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In meiosis, the breaking up of chromosomes occur to form new daughter cells. The chromosomes break into haploid parts and then the two daughter cells formed then twist and exchange their genetic information. Division into four daughter cells is less likely to occur during meiosis 1.
