The products of meiosis, besides the daughter cells, are polar bodies. In oogenesis, the polar bodies are called primary nuceli and secondary nuclei respectively.

When do organisms complete meiosis?
Meiosis is the process of making gametes (sex cells), so depending on what you mean by your question, either of the following may be correct: 1.) Meiosis will be complete after the individual no longer makes gametes. In humans, females complete meiosis even before they are born because they create all the eggs they will ever have during gestation. In males, this is an ongoing process. 2.) Meiosis may also be considered complete after the products are finished. In humans, females produce 1 egg and 3 polar bodies. In males, 4 sperm are produced.

What is the process that serves to decrease cellular chromosome number by half?
During meiosis the number of chromosomes per cells is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosome in a diploid cell. Meiosis is the process of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes.
What are nondisjunction genes?
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or chromatids to segregate during mitosis or meisos with the result that one daughter cell has both of a pair of parental chromosomes or chromatids and the other has none. An example is Trisomy 21, which is also called Down's Syndrome. This person has 3 chromosome #21.Nondisjunction of genes occur during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes fail to separate or during meiosis II when there is unequal distribution of chromosomes. This leads to aneuploidy.
How many sex cells does meiosis produce?
Four gametes are produced every time a cell goes through the process of meiosis. For females, the four become an egg(zygote).
What are the 3 cells that don't become eggs at the end of meiosis called?
I believe they are called Polar Bodies.
What are 3 things Meiosis and Mitosis have in common?
Meiosis and Mitosis both use centrioles, they both have the same process(except for a few other steps in Meiosis) and they both split cells.

How many cell divisions are in meiosis?
There are two parts to meiosis; a meiosis I and a meiosis II. Meiosis I: Interphase Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Cytokenisis I Meiosis II: *THERE IS NO INTERPHASE II!!* Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Cytokenisis II

How does meiosis contribute to genetic variation?
By recombining the genetic material in two ways with a third way furthering variation. 1. The independent orientation of the chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. 2. Crossing over between chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis. 3. Random fertilization of gametes.
How many sex cells does meiosis produce?
Four gametes are produced every time a cell goes through the process of meiosis. For females, the four become an egg(zygote).
What is the result of meiosis?
Meiosis happens in the reproductive cells. After the first division you get 2 cells with 46 chromosomes, after the second division, you get 4 cells with 23 chromosomes. In humans at least. These cells will become the sperm cells in males. In females, only one cell of 23 chromosomes becomes an egg, the other 3 are called polar bodies and are reabsorbed into the body basically.
What cell types does meiosis form?
Meiosis is purely for the production of sex cells. When one cell undergoes meiosis, it turns into ethier 4 sperms cells for a male or 3 extra cells and 1 egg cell for a female.
