Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis is the process during which chromosome number is reduced from diploid (2n) to haploid (n) in the formation of gametes. Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while cytokinesis is the physical separation of the cytoplasmic contents of a cell after cell division. Sexual differentiation refers to the development of male and female characteristics in organisms, and meitosis is not a recognized term in biology.
