The three other products of meiosis are two haploid cells called polar bodies in females and a single haploid cell in males. These are produced alongside the four haploid daughter cells that result from meiosis.

3 parts of the cell cycle?
Mitosis,Meiosis,and Amitosis
When do organisms complete meiosis?
Organisms complete meiosis during the formation of gametes, which are specialized cells involved in sexual reproduction. In humans, meiosis occurs during the formation of eggs in females and sperm in males.
How many chromosomes are present in a mosquito cell at each what stages Meiosis?
A mosquito cell has 6 chromosomes in total. During meiosis, the cell goes through two rounds of division. In meiosis I, the cell reduces its chromosome number to half (3 chromosomes) and in meiosis II, it divides again to produce four daughter cells, each with 3 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 phases are found in both meiosis and mitosis?
The phases found in both meiosis and mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In meiosis, there are two rounds of division (meiosis I and meiosis II), while mitosis only involves one round of division.

What are 3 things Meiosis and Mitosis have in common?
Both meiosis and mitosis are processes of cell division that involve the duplication and distribution of genetic material. They both involve the replication of DNA, followed by the separation of chromosomes into daughter cells. Finally, both processes occur in eukaryotic cells.
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 cell divisions are in meiosis?
Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I is responsible for reducing the chromosome number from diploid to haploid, while meiosis II divides the resulting haploid cells to produce gametes with a single set of chromosomes.
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 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.
What are the stages of meosis?
Meiosis consists of two main stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid cells. Meiosis II involves the separation of sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells, each genetically unique.
What are the two distinct of meiosis?
I think what you are asking is "What are the two distinct processes of meiosis?"At the beginning of meiosis, there is a diploid cell (chromosomes come in pairs) with duplicated chromosomes (each pair of chromosomes is duplicated). The cell undergoes two processes: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.Meiosis I produces two haploid cells (unpaired chromosomes), but the chromosomes are still duplicated. These two cells then undergo Meiosis II, in which the two haploid cells are split, with one set of unpaired chromosomes going to one and the other set of unpaired chromosomes to the other. The end result of Meiosis II is four haploid cells with unduplicated chromosomes.In short, when a cell undergoes the complete process of meiosis, a single diploid cell with duplicated chromosomes is turned into four haploid cells with unduplicated chromosomes.For a complete description of all the steps along the way, see this page and scroll down about 2/3 of the way: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Health_and_Science/Heredity
