Advertisements
Description:
Meiosis I is also called reductional division or heterotypical division. It results in the formation of two daughter cells. The formed daughter cells have chromosome number half to those in the parent cell.
Meiosis I is divided into two parts karyokinesis I and cytokinesis I.
The two chromatids of a chromosome become genetically different due to crossing over.
