Tracing One Diploid Cell Through Meiosis I and II
Captions available
The idea
This procedure traces one diploid cell's chromosomes from premeiotic S phase through both meiotic divisions to four haploid products.
Where people slip
Only one DNA replication event happens across this entire sequence — treating meiosis II as a second replication-and-division cycle miscounts the process.
