Noun. 1. meiosis - (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants). miosis, reduction division.
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells â sperm in males, eggs in females. 1  During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells. 2  These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell â they are haploid.  Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes (eggs in females and sperm in males).
