Reproduction and Species Continuity: Cell Division in the Fifth Phase of Meiosis

The video explains the stages of meiosis, focusing on telophase 1 through telophase 2. It highlights the absence of DNA replication post-telophase 1, the alignment of chromosomes during metaphase 2, the separation of sister chromatids in anaphase 2, and the formation of new nuclei and cells in telophase 2. The process results in four haploid sex cells from one diploid germ cell, restoring the diploid chromosome number upon fertilization.

Explain the changes that happen during telophase 2.

What is the significance of the haploid sex cells produced from the diploid germ cell?
