NOTES > Meiosis

 

Meiosis is a process that ensures the formation of haploid gamete cells in sexually reproducing diploid organisms—a. Meiosis results in daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. b. Meiosis involves two rounds of a sequential

series of steps (meiosis I and meiosis II).

 

Mitosis and meiosis are similar in the way chromosomes segregate but differ in the number of cells produced and the genetic content of the daughter cells.
