#meiosis__miosis__reduction_division__reductiondivision (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants)
supertype: #cell_division__cellular_division the process in reproduction and growth by which a cell divides to form daughter cells
part: #anaphase #karyokinesis #metaphase.phase_of_cell_division #prophase.phase_of_cell_division #segregation.organic_process #telophase.phase_of_cell_division
subtype: #nondisjunction meiosis in which there is a failure of paired homologous chromosomes to separate; results in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the daughter cells
