How does Meiosis produce haploid gametes

Through reduction division, each gamete contains half the numbers of chromosomes.

Indicate how metaphase I is different from metaphase in mitosis.

Metaphase I: homologous pairs line up; Metaphase of mitosis: individual chromosomes of two sister chromatids line up.
