Meiosis II is the second stage of the process that produces gametes, which are the reproductive cells in organisms. It follows Meiosis I, where the chromosome number is halved. In Meiosis II, the two cells formed in the first stage divide again, but this time, the chromosomes are not replicated. Each of the two cells splits into two, resulting in a total of four haploid cells, each containing a single set of chromosomes. During Meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell. This ensures that each of the four resulting cells has the correct number of chromosomes, ready to combine with another gamete during fertilization.
