Multicellular eukaryotes and single-celled sex cells reproduce by a process called meiosis In this process, the number of chromosomes in a mother cell is

meiosis Meiosis occurs in ovaries and testes, where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information

meiosis Meiosis 1 is marked by the separation of homologous chromosomes and reduction of diploid cells into haploid cells Explore the phases and
