Question

Define the term meiosis. Plz help!!

Answer 1

Meiosis is the formation of egg and sperm cells. In s3xually reproducing organisms, body cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes (one set from each parent). During meiosis, diploid cells undergo DNA replication, followed by two rounds of cell division, producing four haploid s3x cells.

Answer 2

a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
