This process produces egg and sperm cells

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

This process undergoes TWO divisions that produce four daughter cells.

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

This process is associated with sexual reproduction.

• meiosis

• mitosis

In this process one cell splits into two genetically identical daughter cells.

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

The chromosome number remains the same during this process. If a parent cell has 8 chromosomes, the daughter cells will have 8 chromosomes.

Crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur. This leads to genetic variation within the daughter cells.
