Meiosis in animals is a type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction. During meiosis, the chromosomes are halved so that during sexual reproduction two halves from two parents can come together and form one cell, genetically combining their different chromosomes.
In Meiosis I: Separates homologous chromosomes In Meiosis II: Separates sister chromatids
prophase
Chromosomes
During sexual reproduction, half of the chromosomes for the new organism are received from each parent. In humans, this means that 22 chromosomes are received from each parent, 44 chromosomes in total.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg unite to form a single cell, the number of chromosomes is restored in the offspring

Mitosis
It separates the chromosomes during mitosis.

The chromosomes are attached to different parts of cell membrane, which elongates and thus separates the chromosomes
