meiosis
|
Special type of cell division by which eggs and sperm cells are made involving reduction from a diploid (double) to a haploid (single) chromosome set. Two successive nuclear divisions with only one round of DNA replication generate four haploid cells daughter cells from the initial diploid cell. (From Greek, meiosis, diminution.)
