Meiosis 2 or equational division

During the interphase that precedes the second division, there is no duplication of chromosomes, since each of them had already duplicated before meiosis 1.

Meiosis 2 is very similar to mitosis. During the metaphase 2, the chromosomes are located in the equatorial plate of each haploid cell. Chromatids, each with its centromere, separate and migrate to the cell poles during anaphase 2. They are non-identical following genetic recombination of meiosis 1.

At the end of the telophase of the second division of meiosis or equational division, we obtain four haploid daughter cells each having a simple set of non-duplicated chromosomes.
