The separation of
chromosomes in meiosis has two main
: to reduce to half the total
of chromosomes, generating
daughter cells at end of the
, and to make genetic
recombination since separation is
aleatory, .e., each pair of cells
can be from the other
relating chromosomal combination
paternal and maternal . (And if
crossing is considered each the
four resulting can be different
the others.)

The of identical chromatids
meiosis II has same function it
in mitosis: to the
chromosomes already to the
daughter .
