Meiosis Ii Diagram. Meiosis is the type of cell division that is seen during the formation of gametes sex cells. For example take a look the meiosis ii diagram above which shows the.
For example take a look the meiosis ii diagram above which shows the products of meiosis for a cell with 2 n 4 2n 4 2 n 4 chromosomes. In meiosis 1 the number of chromosomes is reduced by one half and for this reason it is called reduction division. Meiosis maintains a constant chromosome number.
As shown in the figure below meiosis ii begins with two haploid n 2 cells and ends with four haploid n 2 cells.
In each round of division cells go through four stages. 221 first meiotic division prophase 1 chromosomes shorten and become visible as two chromatids joined by a centromere. In the first division which consists of different phases the duplicated dna is separated into daughter cells. Anaphase ii in this phase of meiosis ii there is a simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome and the sister chromatids are pulled away towards the opposite poles.
