## Step 1Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell by half. This process is crucial for sexual reproduction and leads to the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells).## Step 2Meiosis consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. ## Step 3At the end of Meiosis I, we have two cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. This means that each cell is haploid, not diploid.## Step 4During Meiosis II, these two cells divide again, resulting in four cells, each with a single set of chromosomes. This means that each cell is haploid.## Step 5The cells produced by Meiosis II are not identical to each other. This is due to the process of crossing over, which occurs during Meiosis I, where segments of DNA are exchanged between homologous chromosomes. This leads to genetic recombination, which increases genetic diversity.
