Meiosis is completed in two separate divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. During meiosis I, there is separation of homologous chromosomes and number of chromosomes in the daughter cell is, thus, reduced to a half. The centromeres split during meiosis II, at anaphase II stage. Thus during meiosis II, number of chromosomes in the daughter cells remain the same as during the start of meiosis II or as at the end of meiosis I which is exactly a half of the chromosome number of original parent mother cell.
