What is the result of meiosis I and are the chromosomes replicated or unreplicated?

The result of meiosis is that the offspring will have no genetic variation, which means that it has less of chance for surviving changes to the environment. What happens to the chromosomes is that they duplicate and homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information (chromosomal crossover) during the first division, called meiosis I. The daughter cells divide again in meiosis II, splitting up sister chromatids to form haploid gametes.
