Meiosis is a special type of nuclear division which segregates one copy of each homologous chromosome into each new gamete. Mitosis maintains the cell's original ploidy level (for example, one diploid 2n cell producing two diploid 2n cells; one haploid n cell producing two haploid n cells; etc.).
Not to be confused with Mitosis, Miosis, Myositis. Note that mitosis is the process by which most cells divide to produce two copies of themselves. For the figure of speech, see Meiosis (figure of speech).
