Meiosis produces cells that contain half the number of Chromosomes to that of the parent cell. The same process produces the female egg cell so that when the two combine during fertilization the new cell formed has the correct number of Chromosomes (half from each parent).

because meiosis has to do with sexual reproduction
It is called mitosis when regular cells divide. It is called meiosis when sex cells divide.
In plants, meiosis occurs in specialized cells called sporophytes, which are diploid. These sporophyte cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores—male spores (microspores) in the anthers and female spores (megaspores) in the ovules. In fungi, similar processes occur where specialized diploid cells, known as sporogenous cells, divide by meiosis to produce spores.
Prokaryotic cells reproduce and divide using binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. It just depends on the species of cell.
meiosis
Meiosis is the type of cell division responsible for producing haploid cells.
during meiosis, sexcells divide to form?
because meiosis has to do with sexual reproduction
Yes. Called meiosis I and meiosis II.
Animals and plants, divide cells to reproduce, this is meiosis.
meiosis
No, the nucleus does not divide in meiosis 1 and then again in meiosis 2. In meiosis 1, the nucleus divides once to reduce the chromosome number in the cell, resulting in two daughter cells. In meiosis 2, the two daughter cells from meiosis 1 divide again to form a total of four haploid daughter cells.
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )

Yes, reproductive cells divide through meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, leading to the formation of haploid cells (cells with half the number of chromosomes) which are essential for sexual reproduction.
It is called mitosis when regular cells divide. It is called meiosis when sex cells divide.
