Solution
Meosis:
Meiosis is a specialised sort of cell division that occurs at a precise time in specific types of cells. It's found in the sex organs' diploid germ cells.
The cell divides twice and has half the number of chromosomes in this kind of cell division.
There are two different forms of meiotic division. The number of chromosomes is reduced during the initial meiotic division, resulting in the formation of two haploid cells. The heterotypic division is also known as the first meiotic division.
Haploid cells divide mitotically in the second meiotic division, producing four haploid cells.
Homotypic division is a phrase used to describe the second meiotic division.
