The cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis for higher education

Lesson Summary Meiosis is a process in which a gamete-producing cell undergoes two cell divisions, known as meiosis I and meiosis II, to produce four gametes,

Stages of meiosis Meiosis contains two separate cell divisions, meaning that one parent cell can produce four gametes In

meiosis There are two types of cell division Mitosis produces two identical diploid daughter cells Meiosis produces four non-identical haploid gametes

meiosis The “business end” of meiosis is the first, protracted, meiotic prophase It is during this stage that two hallmark events of meiosis occur,
