DNA is copied in a process called replication.
-
The cell divides. The two new cells are haploid, each containing half the normal
number of chromosomes.
DNA does not copy or replicate. The two cells enter a second round of cell division,
called Meiosis II.
The cell enters Meiosis I.

Replicated chromosomes move to the middle of both cells.
The cells divide, forming four gamete cells. These gametes are haploid and contain
