👉 The term "haplophase" is a genetic concept in which a chromosome divides into two separate copies, one of each arm. This process results in an even number of chromosomes on each side of the cell, and it is often used to describe the chromosomal state of a cell during meiosis. In haplophase, both arms of a chromosome are divided into two equal parts, with each part containing one copy of each chromosome from the parent cells. This allows for equal distribution of genetic material
