Meiosis I consists of four phases: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I. During prophase I, the chromosomes condense and become visible inside the nucleus. Because each chromosome ...

Thus, the products of meiosis II are four haploid cells that contain a single copy of each chromosome. In mammals, the number of viable gametes obtained from meiosis differs between males and females.

and the fibers from the other centriole attach to the other 23 chromosomes. (Again, only four chromosomes are shown here in order to simplify the illustration.) ...
