Anaphase II

A phase of meiosis II where sister chromatids are separated and moved to opposite poles of the cell, leading to the formation of four haploid daughter cells.

Metaphase II

A phase of meiosis II where the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, similar to metaphase in mitosis, but this process occurs in a haploid set of chromosomes.

Meiosis

Process in which a 2n cell undergoes two successive nuclear divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II), potentially producing four n nuclei; leads to the formation of gametes in animals and spores in plants.

Prophase II

The first stage of meiosis II, where the genetic material condenses into visible chromosomes, preparing for eventual separation into daughter cells.
