Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It results in the formation of gametes (sex cells). In females, the gamete is the egg, and in males, it is the sperm. Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells (gametes) that have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. When an egg and a sperm combine during fertilization, the chromosome number is restored to the diploid (full) number, which is the same as in the organism's body cells.
