Answer :
Answer:
Here's a flowchart depicting the process of meiosis:
Start
Diploid cell (2n) undergoes Meiosis I
* Prophase I
* Chromosomes condense and homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis)
* Crossing over (exchange of genetic material) may occur
* Metaphase I
* Homologous chromosome pairs (bivalents) align at the equator
* Anaphase I
* Homologous chromosomes separate and move towards opposite poles
* Telophase I & Cytokinesis I
* Two haploid (n) daughter cells with genetically distinct chromosomes are formed
Meiosis II (occurs independently in each daughter cell from Meiosis I)
* Prophase II
* Chromosomes condense and nuclear envelope breaks down
* Metaphase II
* Chromosomes align at the equator (sister chromatids attached at centromere)
* Anaphase II
* Sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles
* Telophase II & Cytokinesis II
* Four haploid (n) daughter cells with unique genetic combinations are formed
End
Four haploid daughter cells
