Meiosis is the process by which a regular diploid body cell divides and becomes 4 haploid gametes. It consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is the first division of cells and Meiosis II is the second. This process is generally similar to regular Mitosis with a few differences that effect the end products.
In humans, n = 23. Gametes contain half the chromosomes contained in normal diploid cells of the body, which are also known as somatic cells. Haploid gametes are produced during meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent diploid cell by half. Some organisms, like algae, have haploid portions of their life cycle.
