egrep (which is the same as grep -E) treats +, ?, |, (, and ) as meta-characters. In basic regular expressions (with grep), the meta-characters ?, +, {, |, (, and ) lose their special meaning. If you want grep to treat these characters as meta-characters, escape them \?, \+, \{, \|, \(, and \).
Plants, fungi, and some protists also perform meiosis. In plants, meiosis creates a multicellular haploid organism, called a gametophyte , which in some groups is independent of the diploid plant. Gametes are produced by mitosis of the gametophyte, which then fuse to form the embryo. This cycle is called alternation of generations. Meiosis involves two divisions.
Diploid human cells have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes: Autosomal chromosomes: 22 sets of 2. Sex chromosomes: 1 set of 2. Haploid Cell Reproduction. Haploid cells are produced by the process of meiosis. In meiosis, a diploid cell divides twice to produce four haploid daughter cells. Prior to the start of the meiotic cell cycle, the cell replicates it DNA and increases its mass and organelle numbers in a stage known as interphase.
