Q. What are the two divisions of meiosis and what are the major events that occur in those divisions?

Meiosis is divided into first meiotic division, or meiosis I, and second meiotic division, or meiosis II. During meiosis I the separation of homologous chromosomes take place, with the formation of two haploid cells and in meiosis II there is separation of identical chromatids of each of the two haploid cells created in meiosis I giving birth to four haploid cells. Meiosis II is a process alike to mitosis.
