Is it true that more than one spindle apparatus is often seen inside a meiotic cell?

Answer 1

One cell forms four haploid daughter cells through two successive divisions during meiosis.

When one cell enters meiosis, one spindle apparatus is formed during first division . Two daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis 1. Each daughter cell will further divide in meiosis 2-- each will develop its own spindle apparatus.

Thing is that after the first division, two nuclei are formed and the cytokinesis may not be over when second division starts. So two spindle apparatus could be seen inside one cell where two nuclei are undergoing meiosis 2 .

Yes, it is true. During meiosis, each cell typically contains more than one spindle apparatus, specifically two spindle apparatuses in most cases: one for each set of chromosomes, which helps ensure proper separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and sister chromatids during meiosis II.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
