Chapter 15, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The production of haploid cells that were originally diploid is called meiosis. The chromosomes should be correctly sorted and distributed in order to produce haploid cells. Meiosis plays an important role in the process of sexual reproduction. The phenomenon of crossing over is more commonly observed in case of meiosis as compared to mitosis.
