In biology class, we learned how meiosis creates sperm and egg cells with half the usual number of chromosomes.

Pro Tip 3/3

Two Rounds

Meiosis involves two divisions, creatively named Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each contributing to genetic diversity.

Meiosis II follows Meiosis I to complete the process of gamete formation.
