Meiosis is a two-stage process that reduces chromosome number by half to form four non-identical haploid cells.
1) Meiosis I:
Prophase I: Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material (crossing over).
Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes align at the cell center.
Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles.
Telophase I: Two haploid cells form, each with half the chromosome number.
2) Meiosis II (similar to mitosis):
Prophase II: Chromosomes condense in both haploid cells.
Metaphase II: Chromosomes align at the center of each cell.
Anaphase II: Sister chromatids are pulled apart.
Telophase II: Four non-identical haploid cells form.
"In short, meiosis reduces chromosome number and generates genetic diversity."
