What is the difference between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2?

In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, while in meiosis II, sister chromatids separate.

Meiosis i	Meiosis ii
The chromosomes arrange at the equator of the cell in homologous pairs.	Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell individually.
Whole chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.	Daughter chromosomes/chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell.
Two cells form at the end of this division	Four cells are formed at the end of this division.
The chromosome number is halved during meiosis I	The chromosome number remains the same during meiosis II.
