Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the production of four gamete cells and a 50% reduction in the number of chromosomes in the parent cell.
Meiosis occurs in meiocytes, which produce gametes.
Meiosis occurs when gametes are formed during sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is prevented by the asexual nature of some gemmules and conidia.
After meiosis in the megaspore mother cell, haploid megaspores are produced.
Meiosis occurs in the zygote of many algae to form haploid spores.
