meiosis
|
Cell division in specialized tissues of ovaries and testes which results in the production of sperm or ova. Meiosis involves two divisions and results in four daughter cells, each containing only half the original number of chromosomes--23 in the case of humans. These cells can develop into gametes.

meiosis
|
during embryonic development, a complex process of cell division occurring after fertilisation of egg with sperm, in which chromosomic material is exchanged and recombined such that the resulting embryo is a unique genetic entity, different genetically to either parent.
