Meiosis is mechanistically similar to mitosis in many ways, although it involves two sequential nuclear and cellular divisions rather than one. The two stages of meiosis are Meiosis I, which consists of prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I (followed by cytokinesis) Meiosis II, which consists of prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II (followed by cytokinesis) Watch the Meiosis animation to learn about each stage in the process. You can review relevant parts of the animation at any point in the tutorial. Part A - The stages of meiosis Can you recognize the eight stages of meiosis based on the location and behavior of the chromosomes?
