Join the Amoeba Sisters as they define meiosis, explain its significance, and dive into general events of the major phases of meiosis: prophase I and II, metaphase I and II, anaphase I and II, and telophase I and II. Stay tuned for the last bit of the video where the Amoeba Sisters clarify some things regarding meiosis, including how the terms haploid/diploid apply and the starting cells of meiosis in humans. This video updates our older (2017) video on meiosis.
