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."
