Answer:
Although both meiosis 1 and 2 undergo the same general stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase; ther are two main distinctions between meiosis 1 and 2. In meiosis 1 the number of chromosomes is generally halved from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). After telophase 1 the second cycle begins and follows through just as regular mitosis would except with half the number of chromosomes of the diploid cell. After telophase 2 cytokinesis takes place and 4 individual gametes are the result.
