Thank you very much!! I am understanding all the divisions and the results from them... I'm still confused. I don't usually get stumped like this!! I'm going to ask my instructor first thing in the morning and then come home and figure it out! Thanks a lot for the help! :)

First thread ever! So in A&P we learned about cell division in meiosis and mitosis last week. I understand that mitosis results in 2 daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell and also has diploid number of chromosomes. I understand that meiosis results in 4 daughter cells with haploid amount of chromosomes. Here's what I cannot wrap my brain around: In meiosis, after anaphase I, there will be 2 daughter haploid cells and then telophaseI, prophase II, metaphase II, then anaphase II... resulting in 4 daughter HAPLOID cells... why haploid? When the cells divided again during meiosis II, how do they remain haploid and not less than that??? I've been trying to figure this out for hours... any help would be greatly appreciated... THANKS!!

I have my last final on May 12th and I am due with my second bundle of joy on the 22nd... (still holding on to him staying in there until after the 12th!!) So I will be celebrating this wonderful semester being over by holding my son for hours and days on end!!! Yay!!!
