Most, however, showed partial synchrony with the gradient direction basipetal in the diploid, acropetal in the haploid. Diploid and haploid nuclei also differed in size, in the size of spindle, number and probably in the size of chromatinic elements, and sometimes in the number of nucleoli. ...
The process of meiosis is characteristic of organisms that reproduce sexually. Such species have in the nucleus of each cell adiploid(double) set of chromosomes, consisting of twohaploidsets (one inherited from each parent). These haploid sets are homologous—i.e., they contain the same kinds ...
produced rather than two. Since the number of chromosomes is halved with each division, each daughter cell has just a single set of chromosomes and is called ahaploidcell. During reproduction, the union of a female gamete with a male gamete restores the two full sets of chromosomes in a ...
Meiosis only occursin reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization. Meiosis is important to, but not the same as, sexual reproduction. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur, as it results in the formation of gametes (sperm and...

Cell division of a diploid cell into four haploid cells, which develop to produce gametes. Mitosis See Karyokinesis. Meiosis Diminution; a species of hyperbole, representing a thing as being less than it really is; understatement; see also litotes. Mitosis Cell division in which the nucleus divi...
The diploid (2n) parent cell results in 4 haploid (n) gametes. Meiosis 1 is known as the reduction phase while meiosis 2 is the division phase. In meiosis, unlike in mitosis, two chromosomes in a homologous pair will line up next to each other (synapsis). The resulting homologous pair...
known as a cell line or subclone. Cell lines derived from primary cultures have a limited life span (i.e., they are finite; see below), and as they are passaged, cells with the highest growth capacity predominate, resulting in a degree of genotypic and phenotypic uniformity in the ...
Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid parent cell, or a parent cell with two sets of chromosomes Mitosis and meiosis go through the same phases, in the same order—prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase—but the phases occur only once during mitosis and twice during meiosis ...
In humans, the diploid number of chromosomes is 46, including the sex-determining X and Y chromosomes. Meiosis involves a single round of DNA replication, but two rounds of cell division; the products (spermatozoa or an oocyte) contain the haploid number of chromosomes (23 in humans). ...
