Summary Introduction

To describe:

That how chromosomes behave in meiosis. Also state when chromosomes are duplicated and when they are not duplicated.

Introduction:

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division, which results into half the number of chromosomes in four haploid daughter cells each different from their parent cell. In this type of cell division, the chromosomes duplicate and exchange of genetic information takes place during meiosis I. The two daughter cells split their sister chromatid and again undergo the cell division called meiosis II, resulting into four haploid daughter cells.

Meiosis I and II are each subdivided into four stages: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
