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.
Meiosis 2 involves the production of sex cells. In meiosis 1, genetic recombination occurs. In meiosis 2, the sex cells with the chromosomes are divided into half. During reproduction, when both sex cells combine, the number of chromosomes is complete again. Meiosis 2 and mitosis are important cycles in cell division.
