Meiosis consists of one round of DNA replication accompanied by two rounds of cell division.
Before meiosis starts, the cell goes through an interphase period in which it grows, replicates its chromosomes to have enough material to divide for the daughter cells.
Unlike mitosis, meiosis has 2 cell division (meiosis
I and II). At the end of the first division, each cell has half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. At the end of the second division there is separation of the sister chromatids
