    Meiosis produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell and occurs in two stages. In the first stage, the parent cell copies its chromosomes to form homologous pairs that line up and separate, forming two daughter cells. In the second stage, the chromosomes in each of those first daughter cells line up and separate again, forming four daughter cells total each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.

    2 Meiosis
    Meiosis and Mitosis the difference
    Mitosis Produces two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of
    chromosomes as the parent cell
    Meiosis Produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as
    the parent cell
    The stages of meiosis
    1. The cell copies the chromosomes to form homologous pairs
    2. These then line up at the centre of the cell and are pulled apart by spindle fibres
    3. One copy of each chromosome goes into each of the two daughter cells
    4. The chromosomes line up at the centre of these cells and are pulled apart again
    5. This forms chromatids
    6. One chromatid from each chromosome then goes into the two daughter cells
    . !on"t forget this effecti#ely happens twice as there are two cells initially with
    chromosomes in
