Meiosis is a type of cell division in which reduction division takes place, that is, the number of chromosomes reduces to half.
Meiosis is divided into two parts; meiosis I and meiosis II.
Meiosis I is a reduction division which results in the formation of two haploid daughter cells from a single diploid parent cell. It results in the equal distribution of chromosomes into the daughter cells.
Meiosis II is an equational division in which the sister chromatids of each chromosome gets separated and distributed into daughter cells. The two cells formed after meiosis II further divide to produce four daughter cells.
