Meiosis is a cell division process that occurs in the gonads where sex cells are produced. The purpose of meiosis is to halve the number of chromosomes so that fertilization can restore the diploid number. Meiosis results in four daughter cells that each have half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell and are therefore genetically unique. Meiosis differs from mitosis in that it involves two cell divisions and the chromosome number is reduced, while mitosis involves one division to produce identical daughter cells.
