The NCAA has instituted strict guidelines for eligibility under medical exceptions for banned substances, including stimulants used to treat ADHD/ ADD, medications for male-pattern baldness, peptide hormones (hGH), and anabolic steroids (testosterone) or any other medications banned* by the NCAA.
Meiosis also differs from mitosis in that it involves a process known as recombination, during which chromosomes exchange segments with one another. As a result, the gametes produced during meiosis are genetically unique.
Special cell division process that produces haploid gametes (gametes must fuse with another gamete or die), produces 4 haploid cells, process includes the same 4 phases as mitosis, except it has 2 divisions, the chromosomes do not duplicate after the first division, meiosis reduces the chromosomes to haploid number, provides genetic variation, and ensures the correct distribution of chromosomes into the resulting cells
