Telophase I and Cytokinesis I

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Telophase I and cytokinesis I complete meiosis's first division, producing two haploid cells, each with one homolog, still duplicated, from every original pair.

Show

A diploid cell finishing meiosis I yields two cells, each holding 23 duplicated chromosomes instead of 46.

Watch for

Each resulting cell is already haploid by chromosome count, even though its chromosomes remain doubled until meiosis II.
