Meiosis can be described as two cell divisions genetic variation and haploid cells.

The right answer is meiosis.

Meiosis is the process of double cell division allowing the formation of gametes, or sexual cells in eukaryotic organisms. It differs from mitosis, somatic cell division, which takes place only in a time. From a diploid mother cell, we obtain four haploid daughter cells with different genetic material.

* A first division of meiosis: the reduction division.

* A second division of meiosis: the equational division.

This process generates genetic diversity. It leads to the formation of haploid cells, designed to fuse with others, so as to obtain diploid cells after fertilization.
