Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It is the process by which a single cell divides twice to produce four cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Meiosis is essential for the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) in animals and spores in plants. It allows for genetic diversity by creating cells with unique combinations of genetic material through processes such as crossing over and independent assortment.
