Meiosis is a type of cell division in sexually reproducing eukaryotes, resulting in four daughter cells (gametes), each of which has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the original diploid parent cell.
The haploid cells become gametes, which by union with another haploid cell during fertilization defines sexual reproduction and formation of a new generation of diploid organisms.
Meiosis occurs in the germ cells of sexually reproducing organisms.
In both plants and animals, germ cells are localized in the gonads, but the time at which meiosis takes place varies among different organisms.
