Meiosis II

Definition

The second of the two consecutive divisions of the nucleus of eukaryotic cell during meiosis, and composed of the following stages: prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.


Supplement

During meiosis II, each of the two cells produced from meiosis I divides further into two cells, each containing one of every decoupled chromosome’s sister strands (chromatids), thus, producing four genetically different, haploid cells.


Also called: second meiotic division

Compare: meiosis I

Genetics with Mitosis and Meiosis

... pulled away from each other. Since the genetic material is not being separated, there should be an A , a , B , and b on each side of the cell. Meiosis I is when the alleles separate, so you should only place one A or a and one B or b on each side of the dividing cell. The two forms of a gene ...
