Meiosis 
a type of cell division that happens when an organism is ready to produce gametes through gametogenesis.
Meiosis produces... 
4 genetically different haploid cells from 1 diploid cells
gametes 
sperm or egg cell
Meiosis I - 2 genetically different haploid cells
prophase I
metaphase I
Anaphase I
Telophase I
Meiosis II
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II
In prophase I...
synapsis: homologues chromosomes pair up
recombination: switching of portions between two chromosomes from each parent
In metaphase I...
spindle fibers connect to one chromosome from each pair
In prophase II...
no DNA replication happens
