Telophase I and Cytokinesis I
Captions available
The idea
Telophase I and cytokinesis I complete meiosis's first division, producing two haploid cells, each with one homolog, still duplicated, from every original pair.
In practice
A diploid cell finishing meiosis I yields two cells, each holding 23 duplicated chromosomes instead of 46.
Where people slip
Each resulting cell is already haploid by chromosome count, even though its chromosomes remain doubled until meiosis II.
