Identify the stages of meiosis by picture and by description of major milestones; explain why meiosis involves two rounds of nuclear division
Just what is the difference between mitosis and meiosis? We know that mitosis produces autosomes; meiosis produces sex chromosomes. Let’s learn just how similar and different these processes are.
What You’ll Learn to Do
- Identify the stages of meiosis
- Describe the steps of meiosis I
- Describe the steps of meiosis II
