Solution
Meiosis,is the division of a germ cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes, or sex cells, each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Meiosis is found in sexual reproduction of organisms. The male and female sex cells (i.e., egg and sperm) are the end result of meiosis; they combine to create new, genetically different offspring.
The stages of meiosis can be broken down into two main stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II
Meiosis I can be broken down into four substages: Prophase I,Metaphase I, Anaphase I and Telophase I
Meiosis II can be broken down into four substages: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II and Telophase II
