In the formation of gametes and plant spores, meiosis is a kind of cell division that produces four daughter cells, each having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The daughter cells have the same form and size as the mother cell, but they have different chromosomal numbers.
Haploid cells make up the daughter cells.
In meiosis, recombination and segregation take place.
Gametes are formed as a result of the process, which takes place in the reproductive organs.
