Meiosis
Learning objectives
- To observe the main features of the meiotic division.
- To understand how meiosis generates haploid cells from diploid cells.
- To understand how and why meiosis plays a key role in generating genetic diversity.
Meiosis produces haploid cells from diploid cells. Meiosis is a peculiar type of cellular division in which diploid germ line cells give rise to haploid reproductive cells or gametes. Meiosis plays a key role in generating tremendous genetic diversity.
