Answer:

Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores and sperm and egg cells. In general, this process involves a "parent" cell splitting into two or more "daughter" cells. In this way, the parent cell can pass on its genetic material from generation to generation

Explanation:

Meiosis  ; from Greek meiosis, meaning "lessening") is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually-reproducing organisms used to produce the gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result in four cells with only one copy of each paternal and maternal chromosome (haploid). Additionally, prior to the division, genetic material from the paternal and maternal copies of each chromosome is crossed over, creating new combinations of code on each chromosome. Later on, during fertilisation, the haploid cells produced by meiosis from a male and female will fuse to create a cell with two copies of each chromosome again, the zygote.

Meiosis as a type of cell division makes sex cells or gametes.

MEIOSIS:

  • Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single parent cell produces four daughter cells that are genetically different from one another.

  • Meiosis is the cell division employed by only sexually reproducing organisms to create gametes or sex cells. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number of the parent cell by half i.e. from 2n to n.

  • Male organisms produce gametes called sperm cells while female organisms produce gametes called egg, which are both as a result of meiosis.
