Nah, meiosis isn't DNA replication. Meiosis splits the chromosomes, while DNA replication makes copies of them.

Meiosis involves dividing the DNA that has already been replicated once. Think of it as a follow-up act to DNA replication.

Nope! DNA replication happens before meiosis during the S phase of the cell cycle. Meiosis itself is about dividing that replicated DNA into gametes.

No way. DNA replication comes first, then meiosis does the genetic magic by splitting those copies into four unique cells.
