A common misconception about meiosis appears when students identify which of the two divisions converts a diploid cell into two haploid cells. Meiosis I is the division immediately following DNA replication and replication does not occur again before meiosis II. However, meiosis I is the "reduction" division when a diploid cell forms two haploid cells. If the DNA duplicated before meiosis I, how do the daughter cells become haploid?
