TELUPHASE 4 Meiosis is the division of a germ cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes or sex cells, each possess ing half the number of clromosomes of the original cell. Its phases begirning interphase are PROPHASE 1, METAPHASE 1, ANAPHASE , TELOPHASE 1, PROPHASE 2, METAPHASE 2 ANAPHASE 2, and TELOPHASE 2. Easy Level Instructions.
