Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Meiosis Phases
Let’s walk through this step by step.

This diagram shows the stages of meiosis — a special kind of cell division that makes sex cells (like sperm or egg cells). Meiosis has two main parts: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each part has four phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

In the image, we see:

- The top row is Meiosis I: starting with Prophase I (where chromosomes are visible as X-shapes), then Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and finally Telophase I (and cytokinesis) — where the cell splits into two.

- Then, each of those two cells goes through Meiosis II — which looks similar to mitosis but starts with half the number of chromosomes. The bottom rows show Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II for each of the two cells from Meiosis I.

The arrows show the order: one cell → divides into two → each of those divides again → total of four cells at the end.

Now, let’s count how many cells there are at the very end.

Start: 1 cell (in Prophase I)

After Telophase I + cytokinesis: 2 cells

Each of those 2 cells goes through Meiosis II → each becomes 2 more cells

So: 2 cells × 2 = 4 cells total at the end (after Telophase II)

You can also count the final circles in the diagram — there are 4 empty circles at the bottom right, labeled under “Telophase II” (though not all labels are shown, the structure implies it).

So, after meiosis is complete, you get 4 daughter cells.

Final Answer:
4
