Study Notes
Cell Division: Meiosis
- Meiosis is a type of cell division
- A diploid (somatic) cell divides into 4 haploid cells
- Haploid cells are gametes (sex cells)
- The resulting cells are not identical
- Meiosis occurs in the testes and ovaries of animals
- Meiosis occurs in the anthers and ovules of plants
- Meiosis is a continuous process, but the events are divided into different stages
