15.+Meiosis

__Meiosis__
Meiosis is another type of cell division. Meiosis does not occur in unicellular organisms, only in multicellular organisms. Meiosis plays a very important role in organisms such as humans because it is needed for reproduction. In our ovary cells we make eggs through the process of meiosis. In meiosis the chromosomes are copied once, just like in the beginning of mitosis. But then the cell divides twice to form four cells with only half the number of chromosomes. In males,each of these four new cells become sperm. Sperm and eggs have only half the normal number of chromosomes.
