Understand that meiosis is a special type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing haploid cells from a diploid cell.
Recall that meiosis consists of two main sequential divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
Recognize that meiosis I is the reductional division where homologous chromosomes separate, reducing the chromosome number from diploid to haploid.
Know that meiosis II is the equational division where sister chromatids separate, similar to mitosis, but it does not change the chromosome number further.
Conclude that since meiosis involves these two distinct rounds of division, the total number of cell divisions during meiosis is two.
