Right i read on wikipedia that the first stage of meiosis, meiosis 1 is the reductional stage where the chromosome number is halved from 2n to n. Does this mean that the prophase stage has been missed out i.e the DNA has not been replicated.
Then meiosis 2 would be the exact same as mitosis, where the DNA number is doubled and then it splits into four daughter cells from the inital two daughter cells?
am i correct here ... so if it asks on an exam question that what is the number of chromosomes after meiosis 1 i put n ... and then n again after meiosis two
what i dont understand is why my teacher was going on about bivalents in meiosis 1 ... as how can there be when the dna has not replicated?
rep if u can help
