==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Meiosis]] is the process of [[sexual Reproduction|asexual reproduction]] where a parent [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] produces four [[haploid]] daughter [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] known as [[gamete]]s that are all [[genetically]] unique.
===About Meiosis===
: [[Meiosis]] is how many [[multicellular]] [[organism]]s including [[human]]s produce [[gamete]]s for [[Sexual Reproduction|sexual reproduction]].
: The 4 daughter [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] are all [[genetically]] different to one another.
: During [[meiosis]] the [[Cell Nucleus|nucleus]] divides into two separate [[diploid]] [[Cell Nucleus|nuclei]] before dividing a second time to produce 4 [[haploid]] [[Cell Nucleus|nuclei]].
: The four daughter [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] are called [[haploid]] [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] because they contain half the number [[chromosome]]s needed to grow a new [[organism]].
