Explanation:

The process of meiosis involves two divisions of the genetic material. The first division is called the reduction division – or meiosis I – because it reduces the number of chromosomes from 46 chromosomes or 2n to 23 chromosomes or n (n describes a single chromosome set).

Answer:

Hey!

1. The movement of the chromosomes to the poles is complete.

2. The spindle disappears.

3. Cell division starts.

5.5.7 Telophase II

The result of meiosis II is the formation of four unique cells, each carrying a new assortment of genes and chromosomes, and each with half the number of original chromosomes.
