The document describes the process of meiosis. In meiosis 1, the parent cell replicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells, each with the full number of chromosomes. In meiosis 2, these daughter cells further divide into four granddaughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells to allow for genetic variation in offspring.

1. re 42 First there is exact replicas of the parents eggs, which has Here is where the parents cell create two new cells that they call daughter cells. Text Here is where the parents cell create two new cells that they call daughter cells. After the cells turns into two cells. They split in to four daughter cells. Text Text chromosomes. In these eggs, because they split in half there are 23 chromosomes. It keeps the same amount of chromosomes. So even though its slpit in to four it still has 23 chromosomes.

This stage is similar to mitosis. Two new identical cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell are produced. 2. Meiosis 2 is the second stage of cell division. This stage produces four new cells with half of the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Mitosis and meiosis are alike because they both have to divide in to two cells, also they both separate cells. They are different because mitosis has four different stages and meiosis doesn’t. They are also different because mitosis is reproducing somatic cells and meiosis is reproducing germ cells.
