1. Meiosis
Cells that undergo meiosis, also go through the G1, S, & G2 phases of Interphase then enter the Cell Reproduction step
Process of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes contained in the cell by half
This results in FOUR HAPLOID cells instead of two diploid cells as in Mitosis

2. Prophase I: - Nuclear membrane disappears
Crossing over occurs where chromosomes exchange genetic information
Ensures genetic variability
This is why you and your siblings may have different colored hair or eyes, even though you have the same parents

3. Metaphase I: Anaphase I: Telophase I Cytokinesis I:
Chromosomes line up
Anaphase I:
The chromosomes split & move to opposite ends of the cell
Telophase I
Chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell
Cytokinesis I:
& the cell splits into TWO DIPLOID cells

4. Prophase II:
Nuclear membrane disappears
Metaphase II:
Chromosomes line up
Anaphase II:
Chromatids separate and begin moving away from each other

5. Telophase II
Nuclear membrane surrounds each new chromosome set
Cytokinesis II:
& the cell splits into TWO MORE CELLS
