Meiosis




What is Meiosis?

Meiosis is cell division. The nucleus divides into 4 nuclei each having half the amount of chromosomes. Meiosis is essential in sexual reproduction an happens in all eukaryotes including single celled organisms.

-Cell division
-Four cells are created with half the chromosomes
-only happens with reproduction

      There can be mutations in cells that can be passed on to offspring and contribute to genetic variability of the population.

    Is there only one cell to start with or are there more?

    What happens if less than 4 or more cells are created?
