Meiosis is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually-reproducing organisms that produces the gametes: the sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result
A diagram depicting nondisjunction in the maternal cell during the Meiosis I phase, resulting in gametes with an extra chromosome. Through fertilization of this egg, an offspring with the condition trisomy 21 is produced.
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome b
