Since cell division occurs twice during meiosis, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm). In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
In this process, we begin with a cell with double the normal amount of DNA, and end up with 4 non-identical haploid daughter gametes after two divisions. There are six stages within each of the divisions, namely prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis.
