Meiosis II

Meiosis II

Meiosis II is the second stage of meiosis, a specialized type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the chromosome number of the parent cell. While Meiosis I reduces the chromosome number by separating homologous chromosomes, Meiosis II resembles mitosis, separating sister chroma...

Soon after Meiosis I is completed, the two new cells enter the next stage, Meiosis II, which also has four stages.

The first stage is Prophase II, during which the chromosomes condense, and the sister chromatids can be distinctly observed under a microscope.

Next is Metaphase II. In this stage, the chromosomes align in a single row a...
