Meiosis involves replicating genetic information, then dividing the cell twice to produce four genetically unique gametes, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Meiosis involves cell division twice, producing four genetically different gametes, each with half the original number of chromosomes, after genetic information has been copied.

|---|---|
| Back | -copies of genetic information are made -the cell divides twice to form four gametes each with a single set of chromosomes. -all gametes are genetically different. |
