Meiosis/ The Phases

The video tutorial explains the stages of meiosis, starting with prophase one where chromatin condenses and centrosomes migrate. Synapsis and crossing over occur, leading to genetic diversity. Metaphase one aligns homologous chromosomes, followed by anaphase one where they move apart. Telophase one and cytokinesis result in two haploid cells. Prophase two begins without DNA replication, leading to metaphase two where centromeres split. Anaphase two separates sister chromatids, and telophase two with cytokinesis produces four haploid cells. The process ensures genetic diversity and prepares for fertilization.
