Meiosis
Meiosis
is a specialized type of
cell division
that reduces the
chromosome
number by half. This process occurs in all
sexually reproducing
single-celled and
multicellular
eukaryotes
, including
animals
,
plants
, and
fungi
. Errors in meiosis resulting in
aneuploidy
are the leading known cause of miscarriage and the most frequent genetic cause of developmental disabilities.
