- Definition (1 sentence): Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that halves the chromosome number, producing four genetically distinct haploid cells from one diploid cell through two successive divisions and recombination.
- Two examples:
1. Formation of human gametes—sperm and eggs—during spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
2. Production of spores in flowering plants (microspores become pollen; megaspores develop into the female gametophyte).
- Sentence using the word: Meiosis increases genetic diversity in sexually reproducing populations by shuffling alleles through crossing over and independent assortment.
