Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores and sperm and egg cell.
Anyone have any idea about Meiosis
That's correct! This process involves a "parent" cell splitting into two or more "daughter"cells,
Who can tell me what are the four stages ofMeiosis?
The four stages of Meiosis are;ProphaseMetaphaseAnaphaseTelophase
The parent cell can pass on its genetic materials form generation to generation.
Prophase: At this stage, chromosomes become compact, dense structures and are easily visible under the microscope.
This process is known as crossing over or recombination.
Metaphase: the meiotic spindle, a network of protein filaments, emerges from two structure called the centrioles, positioned at either end of the cell.
Each X-shaped complex moves away from the other, toward opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase: The spindle fibers start to contract, pulling the fused sister chromatids with them.
Telophase: the fused sister chromatids reach either end of the cell, and the cell body splits into two.
