Explain why the chromosomes in the haploid cells produced by meiosis I look different from those produced by meiosis II.

Cells from meiosis II are divided from the cells from meiosis I ;

In meiosis one, homologous chromosomes only separate resulting in two cells. In meiosis II, the cells divide further, separating sister chromatids and resulting in four cells. So the cells are just even smaller with less chromosomes in each one.

The chromosomes in haploid cells produced by meiosis I look different from those produced by meiosis II due to the separation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I and the separation of sister chromatids in meiosis II. In meiosis I, cells contain duplicated chromosomes, while in meiosis II, they contain single chromatids. Thus, meiosis I results in two haploid cells with pairs of sister chromatids, and meiosis II results in four haploid gametes with single chromatids.
