Flashcards
Meiosis
Meiosis
A type of cell division that results in four haploid daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Haploid cells
Haploid cells
Cells containing a single set of chromosomes (n).
Diploid cells
Diploid cells
Cells containing two sets of chromosomes (2n).

Study Notes
Meiosis
- Produces haploid sex cells, which contain a single copy of each chromosome
- Occurs in eukaryotic cells
- Starts with diploid cells, which contain two copies of each chromosome
- Results in the formation of cells with a single set of chromosomes
