Meiosis II

0:00 / 0:00

Meiosis II
Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, and cytokinesis are repeated to yield 4 daughter cells. 
They are the same as in mitosis since no crossover occurs at this stage.
Unlike in mitosis, these daughter cells are haploid (only one chromosome of each kind or 23 chromosomes in total).
