Meiosis is not cell replication; that process is called mitosis (the identical replication of cells).
Meiosis is the process of sexual replication at the cellular level. While additional cells are created, they are not replicated. Instead, through the process of fertilization, a gamete - a cell composed of the hereditary information of two parent cells - is created. Through this process, a species generates genetic diversity.
Meiosis consists of 8 main phases: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telephase II. This process can be summarized as follows:
- During interphase, the chromosomes replicate. Each chromosome consists of two identical chromatids.
- At the start of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up. The homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material with each other in a process termed crossing over.
- During meiosis I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. One of each pair goes to each of the two daughter cells. The result is two haploid daughter cells.
- In meiosis II, the two daughter nuclei divide again. This time the chromatids of each chromosome separate. Meiosis II is similar to mitosis. The end result is four haploid cells.

Does DNA replication happen before or during Meiosis?
It happens during interphase of the cell cycle.
What is the term process of chromosomal DNA being duplicated?
Chromosomes duplicate in a process called mitosis.
What is the process by which a cell makes a copy in meiosis?
Before meiosis begins, the cell copies its DNA in the process of DNA replication.
What two cell division process use DNA replication?
Mitosis and Meiosis
The process that makes an exact copy of a cell's DNA is called?
Replication is the process that makes an exact copy of a cell's DNA.
DNA replication occurs?
The Replication of DNA does occur before the cell can divide.
When does DNA replecation occur in meiosis?
DNA replication always occurs at cell nucleus itself
Can an organism live a health life without any cell undergoing meiosis?
Meiosis is the replication of sex cells, so if an organism doesn't want to reproduce offspring, then they can live healthily without undergoing the process of meiosis. However, mitosis is the replication of every other cell in the body, assisting with growth and repair so no organism can live a healthy life without undergoing the process of mitosis.
How cell replication?
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
What does a cell go through?
Quite a bit, especially with replication in meiosis and mitosis.
When does replication occur in cell's cycle?
Replication of DNA occurs during Interphase of both mitosis and meiosis. This means the DNA is doubled before the cell divides.
The process of what produces a new copy of an organism's genetic information?
The process that makes a new copy of an organism's genetic information and then passes it on to new cells is called mitosis.
What pairs are correctly matched g1 phase-dna replication g2 phase-preparation for meiosis s phase- dna replication m phase-cell growth go phase-cell growth?
g2 phase-preparation for meiosis
How many times does DNA replication take place in the process of meiosis?
only once
