How many cell divisions take place during Meiosis?

Meiosis and Mitosis both are forms of the cell cycle. Mitosis has one DNA synthesis, 1 cell division and should produce 2 identical daughter cells that are diploid (2n). Meiosis has one DNA synthesis, 2 cell divisions and should produce 4 different daughter cells that are haploid (1n).

Watch Meiosis Videos and start thinking about how models will compare to Mitosis.
