Meiosis produces cells that contain half the number of Chromosomes to that of the parent cell. The same process produces the female egg cell so that when the two combine during fertilization the new cell formed has the correct number of Chromosomes (half from each parent).

Does the nucleus divide in meiosis 1 and again in meiosis 2?

No, the nucleus does not divide in meiosis 1 and then again in meiosis 2. In meiosis 1, the nucleus divides once to reduce the chromosome number in the cell, resulting in two daughter cells. In meiosis 2, the two daughter cells from meiosis 1 divide again to form a total of four haploid daughter cells.
