(One division) Meiosis only occurs in the sex organs to produce 4 X haploid (n), genetically different, gametes for sexual reproduction. Meiosis consists of two divisions: Meiosis I halves the number of chromosomes to give 2 X haploid cells. Meiosis II doubles the number of cells to give 4 X haploid gametes.
Gamete formation in either sex is a result of meiosis. In males, the four cells resulting from meiosis usually all become gametes. In females, however, the cytoplasm is not divided evenly, so that only one of the four cells becomes a gamete. The other cells become polar bodies, which are not used in reproduction.
