Definition of meiosis in English English dictionary: Cell division of a diploid cell into four haploid cells, which develop to produce gametes; a figure of speech whereby something is made to seem smaller or less important than it is
I knew, with one of those secret knowledges that can exist between two people, that her suicide was a direct result of my having told her of my own attempt – I had told it with a curt meiosis that was meant to conceal depths; and she had called my bluff one final time.; Understatement, the opposite of exaggeration): "I was somewhat worried when the psychopath ran toward me with a chainsaw " (i e , I was terrified) Litotes (especially popular in Old English) is a type of meiosis in which the writer uses a statement in the negative to create the effect: "You know, Einstein is not a bad mathematician " (i e , Einstein is a good mathematician ); Process of cell reproduction whereby the daughter cells have half the chromosome number of the parent cells Sex cells are formed by meiosis Cf Mitosis; A pair of nuclear divisions forming gametes wherein the number of chromosomes is reduced from the diploid to the haploid number; resulting cells normally contain one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes; Nuclear division that occurs in eukaryotes to produce haploid eggs and spermocytes from a diploid cell Meiosis consists of two reductive divisions; In eukaryotes, reduction division, the process by which the change from diploid to haploid occurs; the cell division process that eggs and sperm go through which halves the chromosome number from 46 to 23; Cell division process in diploid organisms that involves the fusion of chromosomes The gametes that are produced have half the number of chromosomes in comparison to the original cell; The process by which diploid germ cell precursors segregate their chromosomes into haploid nuclei within eggs and sperm See Meiosis in the MGI Glossary; The process of cell division which separates the pair of complementary chromosomes to produce eggs and sperm with only one set of chromosomes each; A special type of cell division that occurs when mature eggs and sperm are formed Through the process of meiosis the number of chromosomes present in a cell is decreased by half In humans the diploid number of chromosomes is 46 This is decreased to 23 during meiosis; The reduction division process by which haploid gametes and spores are formed, consisting of a single duplication of the genetic material followed by two mitotic divisions; {i} process of cell division which occurs in the maturation of sex cells (Biology); Reduction division resulting in the production of haploid gametes; a process consisting of two specialized nuclear divisions ultimately leading to the formation of eggs or sperm; understatement for rhetorical effect (especially when expressing an affirmative by negating its contrary); "saying `I was not a little upset' when you mean `I was very upset' is an example of litotes"; A type of cell division which gives rise to four reproductive cells (gametes) each with half the chromosome number (i e two single as opposed to two pairs) of the parent cell see also haploid; The reduction of chromosome number from diploid to haploid in which segregation of genes occurs and gametes or spores are formed; The process of two consecutive cell divisions in the diploid progenitors of sex cells Meiosis results in four rather than two daughter cells, each with a haploid set of chromosomes See also: mitosis; – an organized sequence of events where one cell divides twice to produce four cells, each of which has half the genetic information as the original cell; Process of cell division which occurs exclusively in germ cells and functions to reduce the chromosome number from 46 to 23 in this cell lineage; or reduction division Division of a gamete-producing cell in which the nucleus splits twice, resulting in four sex cells (gametes, or eggs and sperm), each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Meiosis is characteristic of organisms that reproduce sexually and have a diploid set of nuclear chromosomes (see ploidy). Before meiosis, chromosomes replicate and consist of joined sister strands (chromatids). Meiosis begins as homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes line up along the midline of the cell. The chromosomes exchange genetic material by the process of crossing-over (see linkage group), in which chromatid strands from homologous pairs entangle and exchange segments to produce chromatids containing genetic material from both parents. The pairs then separate and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell, which then pinches in half to form two daughter cells, each containing a haploid set (half the usual number) of double-stranded chromosomes. In the second round of meiotic division, the double-stranded chromosomes of each daughter cell are pulled apart, resulting in four haploid gametes. When two gametes unite during fertilization, each contributes its haploid set of chromosomes to the new individual, restoring the diploid number. See also mitosis; = The process of deviding the chromosome pairs so half can go into one gamete (sperm or egg cell) and half into another This is how the male and female each contribute half of the new individuals heritage See Mitosis See DNA Page; Chromosome number-reductional cell divisions in the formation of sexual gametes; A reproductive process involving two successive divisions of a cell, resulting in four daughter cells Unlike what occurs in mitosis, the daughter cells produced in meiosis are not identical to each other Meiosis is the process by which sperm and egg cells are made; the process of division of sexual cells in which the number of chromosomes in each nucleus is reduced to half the normal number found in normal somatic cells When two sexual cells fuse, each contributes its half of the chromosomes The resulting embryo contains the full chromosome complement Cells with half the chromosomes are called haploids: those with the normal chromosomal complement, diploids [CUB]; Two successive nuclear divisions of a diploid nucleus that result in the formation of haploid gametes or of meiospores having one-half the genetic material of the original cell; (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants); Diminution; a species of hyperbole, representing a thing as being less than it really is; The two-stage type of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes in a cell Occurs in sexually-reproducing higher organisms so that the number of chromosomes aren't doubled when fertilisation occurs; A special process of nuclear division during which spores are produced Meiosis involves a diminution (by half) in the amount of genetic material; it consists of two successive nuclear divisions with only one round of DNA replication producing four haploid daughter cells (the spores) from an initial diploid cell
