Meiosis occurs in ovaries and testes, where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information  Meiosis I · After crossing over, the spindle begins to capture chromosomes and move them towards the center of the cell · The phases of

Meiosis II is needed to separate sister chromatids Meiosis I creates two haploid cells, but they still each contain a copy, hence the chromatid and its Both mitosis and meiosis involve: Diploid parent cell; Stages of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase; In metaphase individual chromosomes (
