Meiosis
Meiosis, a fundamental process in biology, plays a pivotal role in the reproduction and genetic diversity of organisms. Through a series of carefully orchestrated steps, meiosis ensures the formation of haploid gametes from diploid cells, essential for sexual reproduction. This intricate process involves two successive divisions, resulting in the production of four genetically unique daughter cells. Meiosis not only ensures the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next but also contributes to the variability within populations, facilitating adaptation and evolution. Its significance extends across various fields of biology, from genetics to evolutionary biology, making it a subject of enduring fascination and study.
