100
A form of nuclear division that divides a diploid cell into haploid cells.
What is Meiosis?

Mitosis occurs in all body cells and prepares it for Cytokinesis.
How is Mitosis related to Cytokinesis?

Meiosis I
When are homologous chromosomes divided?
400
It prepares the cell to divide and provides time for the duplication of organelles and for DNA replication.

Why are there two Meiosis divisions?
500
-not easily broken -the correct amounts of chromosomes end up in each new cell
Why is it important for chromosomes to be compact/untangled during Mitosis?
