In eukaryotic cells, the dna is packaged with proteins in the nucleus and varies in structure and appearance at different parts of the cell cycle. Chromosomes condense and become visible by light รขโ‚ฌยฆ During meiosis ii, the sister chromatids within the two daughter cells separate, forming four new haploid gametes.

The meiosis cell cycle has two main stages of division -- meiosis i and meiosis ii. The end result of meiosis is four haploid daughter cells that each contain different genetic information from each other รขโ‚ฌยฆ During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell รขโ‚ฌ they are haploid.
