During meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved. This process results in the formation of sex cells (sperm and egg) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.
The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.
The chromosomes number is halved during the process of meiosis, specifically during the first division called meiosis I.
Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.
During meiosis, the chromosome number is reduced by half. This is because the cell undergoes two rounds of division, resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

The chromosome number at the end of meiosis is half of the parent cell
During meiosis, the chromosome number decreases by half. For example, if a human cell with 46 chromosomes were to undergo meiosis, the result would be four daughter cells with 23 chromosomes in each.

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over. The homologous chromosomes then separate, reducing the chromosome number by half. During meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, resulting in the formation of four haploid daughter cells, each with a unique combination of genetic material.
During meiosis, the chromosome number decreases by half. For example, if a human cell with 46 chromosomes were to undergo meiosis, the result would be four daughter cells with 23 chromosomes in each.
After meiosis I, the cell will have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This is because the chromosome number is halved during meiosis I, going from diploid to haploid.
Metaphase of meiosis 2 has the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle. In meiosis 1, during metaphase, there are still pairs of homologous chromosomes lined up at the equator.
Homologous chromosomes occur during meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half.
