Meiosis
01
a type of cell division that creates reproductive cells with half the usual number of chromosomes
Example
Meiosis ensures genetic diversity by creating haploid cells with unique combinations of chromosomes.
Meiosis helps maintain a stable chromosome number across generations by halving the number of chromosomes in gametes.
The process of meiosis involves two consecutive divisions, resulting in four non-identical haploid cells.

In humans, meiosis occurs in the cells that give rise to eggs and sperm, leading to the production of genetically diverse offspring.
The phases of meiosis include prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
