  2. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Meiosis undergoes two divisions resulting in four haploid daughter cells. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division of meiosis, such that each daughter cell has one copy of each chromosome. These chromosomes have already been replicated and have two sister chromatids which are then separated during the second division of ...

  3. Meiomitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiomitosis

    In cutaneous T-cell lymphoma meiosis proteins have been shown to be regulated with the cell cycle. [4] Lymphoma cell lines have also been noted to up-regulate meiosis specific genes with irradiation and a correlation with mitotic arrest and polyploidy has been noted. [5] The overall role of meiomitosis in cancer development and evolution has ...

    A diploid cell may also undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells, usually four. Haploid cells serve as gametes in multicellular organisms, fusing to form new diploid cells. DNA replication , or the process of duplicating a cell's genome, [ 2 ] always happens when a cell divides through mitosis or binary fission.

  6. Origin and function of meiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_and_function_of_meiosis

    Meiosis generates genetic variation in the diploid cell, in part by the exchange of genetic information between the pairs of chromosomes after they align (recombination). Thus, on this view, [28] an advantage of meiosis is that it facilitates the generation of genomic diversity among progeny, allowing adaptation to adverse changes in the ...

  7. Sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_reproduction

    In the first stage of sexual reproduction, meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced from a diploid number (2n) to a haploid number (n). During fertilisation, haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote, and the original number of chromosomes is restored.

  8. Meiocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiocyte

    Researching meiosis in mammals plays a crucial role in understanding human infertility. Meiosis research within mammal populations is restricted due to the fundamental nature of meiosis. [ 2 ] In order to study mammalian meiosis, a culture technique that would allow for this process to be observed live under a microscope would need to be ...
