Meiotic recombination may begin with a double-strand break, either induced by Spo11 [2] or by other endogenous or exogenous causes of DNA damage. These DNA breaks must be repaired before metaphase I. and these DSBs must be repaired before metaphase I. The cell monitor these DSBs via ATM pathway, in which Cdc25 is suppressed when DSB lesion is ...
During the phase of meiosis labeled “interphase s” in the meiosis diagram there is a round of DNA replication, so that each of the chromosomes initially present is now composed of two copies called chromatids. These chromosomes (paired chromatids) then pair with the homologous chromosome (also paired chromatids) present in the same nucleus ...

Cell division producing haploid gametes For the figure of speech, see Meiosis (figure of speech). For the process whereby cell nuclei divide to produce two copies of themselves, see Mitosis.

So, humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes in each cell that contains a nucleus. One set of 23 chromosomes (n) is from the mother (22 autosomes, 1 sex chromosome (X only)) and one set of 23 chromosomes (n) is from the father (22 autosomes, 1 sex chromosome (X or Y)). Ultimately, this means that humans are diploid (2n) organisms. [2]
Just forms is probably enough, or if necessary, "in each daughter cell". "Metaphase II" probably shouldn't be repeated in the description text. Minor issue, but I wonder if the central dark area in the shading of the cells is necessary. It makes the cell look like a target, and it seems to emphasise something that isn't there.
The grasshopper Melanoplus femur-rubrum was exposed to an acute dose of X-rays during each individual stage of meiosis, and chiasma frequency was measured. [25] Irradiation during the leptotene - zygotene stages of meiosis (that is, prior to the pachytene period in which crossover recombination occurs) was found to increase subsequent chiasma ...

Studies in male mouse meiosis have shown that after DNA damaging treatments like gamma irradiation, two types of repair responses occur depending on the meiotic stage: [5] From leptotene to early pachytene, exogenous DNA damage triggers widespread presence of the repair protein gammaH2AX in the nucleus, associated with homologous recombination ...
