Answer:Meiosis is a complex process of cell division that occurs in two main stages, each with several sub-phases: Meiosis I (Reduction Division) Prophase I: - Chromosomes condense and become visible.- Homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis) and exchange genetic material (crossing over).- The nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers form.Metaphase I: - Homologous chromosome pairs line up at the center of the cell (metaphase plate).- Spindle fibers attach to each chromosome pair.Anaphase I: - Homologous chromosome pairs separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.- Sister chromatids remain attached.Telophase I: - Chromosomes reach the poles of the cell.- The nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes.- Cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) occurs, resulting in two daughter cells. Meiosis II (Equational Division) Prophase II: - Chromosomes condense again.- The nuclear envelope breaks down.- The spindle fibers form.Metaphase II: - Chromosomes line up at the center of each daughter cell.- Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of each chromosome.Anaphase II: - Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.Telophase II: - Chromosomes reach the poles of the cell.- The nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes.- Cytokinesis occurs, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
