This week we learned a new topic named meiosis. It was a little hard to understand in the beginning, but i am starting to understand the new topic. I have come to understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores. Meiosis is not like mitosis. Mitosis is asexual which means that it can recreate its own own cell with its own genetic info. Meiosis on the other hand, is sexual which means that it uses half of its own info and half of another cells info.
