meiosis in biology

Diploid eukaryotic germ cells produce haploid sex-cell gametes {meiosis, biology}|, such as sperm and eggs. One germ cell makes four haploid cells. First stage is prophase. Next stage is segregation. Then cell divides, making two diploid cells {doublet, cell}, with doubled, paired chromosomes. In both cells, chromosomes separate to cell sides on spindles. Then nucleus splits. Cytokinesis makes each diploid cell into two cells.
