Meiosis is a special type of cell division that is a reduction division. It results in the production of gametes or sex cells (sperms or eggs) with half the chromosome number that the organism contains in its body cells. The number of chromosomes in the gametes is called the haploid amount as compared to the diploid amount found in body cells. Meiosis occurs in gonads--sex organs which are testes in males and ovaries in females. It starts with a diploid body cell. The amount of chromosomes is replicated before meiotic division occurs. This results in paired chromosomes called chromatids. for example we can explain the process of meosis in humans
