- Meiosis - Wikipedia
Meiosis occurs in eukaryotic life cycles involving sexual reproduction, consisting of the cyclical process of growth and development by mitotic cell division, production of gametes by meiosis and fertilization
- Meiosis: Definition, Stages, Purpose with Diagram
Meiosis is a cell division process where a single (parent) cell divides twice to produce four independent (daughter) cells, each having half the chromosomes as the original cell The term ‘meiosis’ came from the Greek word ‘meiosis’, meaning ‘lessening’

Meiosis, on the other hand, is used for just one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes —sex cells, or sperm and eggs Its goal is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell
- Meiosis | Definition, Process, Stages, Diagram | Britannica
Meiosis, division of a germ cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes, or sex cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell
- Meiosis - Definition, Stages, Function and Purpose | Biology Dictionary
Meiosis is the process in eukaryotic, sexually-reproducing animals that reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell before reproduction Many organisms package these cells into gametes, such as egg and sperm
- Meiosis: Phases, Stages, Applications with Diagram
Meiosis is a type of cell division in sexually reproducing eukaryotes, resulting in four daughter cells (gametes), each of which has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the original diploid parent cell
- Meiosis - National Human Genome Research Institute
Meiosis is a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm) In humans, body (or somatic) cells are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent)
- What Is Meiosis and Why Is It Important? - sciencenewstoday. org
At its core, meiosis is a type of cell division But unlike mitosis, which produces two identical daughter cells and is responsible for growth and repair, meiosis is about diversity
