Meiosis, a type of cell division specific to reproduction, avoids this by halving the number of chromosomes in a cell. The cell shown here will divide twice, resulting in four cells. Each of these ...

In eukaryotic cell division, genomic information is equally distributed to daughter cells during mitosis, whereas it is halved during a specialized type of cell division called meiosis ...

Gametes are formed by a type of cell division called meiosis. In animals the gametes are sperm and eggs. In flowering plants the gametes are pollen and eggs.

The process of meiosis happens in the male and female reproductive organs. As a cell divides to form gametes: ...

The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during both types of nuclear division: mitosis and meiosis. During mitosis, the spindle fibers ...

Matonia pectinata R. Br. is one of the best known examples of a very ancient relict type among living ferns. As is well known 1, the fossil record goes back at least to the Cretaceous period and ...
