Meiosis phases

Meiosis is a cell creation process, like Mitosis, except it is used to create cells with only half the chromosomes as the parent scale. It is used to create reproductive cells like sperm and egg. It ensures that the genetic material contained in these cells is insufficient to make a genetic clone of the parent.

The first stage of meiosis has five phases:
