This process halves the number of chromosomes and forms haploid cells from diploid cells

Meiosis is a form of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes when forming these specialized cells
What are reproductive cells
300
After Meiosis II, four haploid cells change in form and develop a tail to become male gametes

400
The kind of reproduction in which a single parent passes copies of all its genes to its offspring
What is asexual reproduction
400
Sexual reproduction may have its beginnings in the formation of diploid cells by protists which allowed the repair of damaged
