Summarize the important points of meiosis I and II

What will be an ideal response?


Important points about meiosis I: Pairs of homologous chromosomes, each consisting of two sister chromatids, separate to produce haploid (1n) cells with 23 chromosomes. Crossing over and independent assortment randomly "shuffle" the alleles and align the maternal and paternal chromosomes, which contributes to the genetic diversity of the offspring. Important points about meiosis II: The process separates the homologous chromosomes into individual chromatids. Potentially there are four haploid cells at the end of telophase II.
