Why is Meiosis II termed as Equational Division ?
Chromosome number at the end of meiosis II, remains the same as meiosis I, in daughter cells
Meiosis II is termed as Equational Division because the Chromosome number at the end of meiosis II, remains the same as at the end of meiosis I, in daughter cells. To further clarify, at the end of meiosis I, there are two daughter cells with 1n chromosomes each. These daughter cells undergo meiosis II to form two more daughter cells with 1n chromosomes each, therefore, bring the total product of meiosis to 4 daughter cells with 1n chromosomes each.
