In meiosis, which stage is noted to include the reduction division?
Correct Answer:
Prophase
Explanation:
Reduction division is the first division of meiosis, where the chromosome number is halved as homologous chromosomes separate. This separation happens during Anaphase I, when the paired homologues are pulled to opposite poles, so each new cell receives half the original number of chromosomes. Prophase I focuses on chromosome condensation and crossing over, while Metaphase I aligns the homologous pairs at the center and Telophase I marks the end of the first division. So the stage that includes the reduction of chromosome number is Anaphase I.
