This document summarizes the process of meiosis. It begins by defining meiosis as the type of cell division that occurs in sex cells and results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It then describes the two divisions of meiosis - meiosis I and meiosis II. The rest of the document delves into the specific stages of meiosis I (prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I) and meiosis II. It also explains how genetic recombination occurs through crossing over in prophase I. Finally, it provides overviews of spermatogenesis and oogenesis, the processes by which sperm and eggs are formed through meiosis in
