Summary Introduction

Introduction: The meiotic division is a division that occurs in a cell that typically lessens the number of chromosomes present in its parent cell by half. Meiotic divisions are more complex than the mitosis. Here the cell divides twice. The first division of diploid cell gives two diploid daughter cells (Meiosis I) and the next division reduces the chromosome number by half, which later gives rise to four haploid cells. Every round of division contains four stages that include:  the initial is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and the final telophase.
