Inferences are steps in reasoning, moving from premises to conclusions. Charles Sanders Peirce divided inference into three kinds: deduction, induction, and abduction. Deduction is inference deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true, with the laws of valid inference being studied in logic.
Meiosis is the process by which most eukaryotic organisms, those with cells having an organized nucleus, produces sex cells, the male and female gametes. Cells normally have two copies of each chromosome, one donated from each parent.
Haploid cells are produced by meiosis. During meiosis, the chromosome number is halved from the diploid number to the haploid number. Similar to mitosis, in meiosis also, DNA replication takes place in the parent cell during the interphase. After this, two cycles of nuclear divisions and cell divisions take place.
