A diploid cell may also undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells, usually four.
A special kind of cell division takes place in making germ cells, called meiosis.
G Gametes - Mature reproductive cells, sperm or ova in humans produced by meiosis.
Meiosis II - One set of homologous chromatids fail to separate.
Reduction Divisions (Meiosis).The divisions which take place leading to the formation of the sexual cells show a reduction in the number of chromosomes to one-half.
Research Interests Our group studies the control of cell division when mammalian oocytes undergo meiosis.
Showing that fair meiosis serves the common interest of a genome's genes.
The process by which the chromosomes divide during the production of egg and sperm cells is termed meiosis.
They deal with basic genetics including mitosis and meiosis.
To study meiosis, it is necessary to investigate the consequences to chromosome segregation of altering particular proteins.
