Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in the halving of the chromosome number in gamete-producing cells. It involves two rounds of division, including a reduction division (meiosis I) in which homologous chromosomes separate and a mitotic division (meiosis II) in which sister chromatids separate. This process ensures that each gamete receives a unique combination of genetic information from the parent cells.
