normal grep would have searched only for lines with a literal +. fgrep. fgrep is an acronym that stands for Fixed-string Global Regular Expressions Print. fgrep (which is the same as grep -F) is fixed or fast grep and behaves as grep but does NOT recognize any regular expression meta-characters as being special.
. Meiosis results in the direct production of gametes. 2. A cell that has successfully completed meiosis has a chromosome number called Haploid. 3. If a species normally has 52 chromosomes, the cells it produces by Meiosis will each have 26 chromosomes.
Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces both male and female gametes. Spermatogenesis is the production of male gametes, and oogenesis is the production of female gametes. For both types of gametes, meiosis serves to halve the number of chromosomes so that upon fertilization the offspring has the requisite number of chromosomes.
