Chromosome abnormalities usually happen as a result of an error in cell division. Meiosis is the name used to describe the cell division that the egg and sperm undergo when they are developing. Normally, meiosis causes a halving of chromosome material, so that each parent gives 23 chromosomes to a pregnancy.
Mitosis and meiosis. Normal cell division in all cells, except germ cells, occurs by 2 mechanical processes that initially divide the nucleus then the cell cytoplasm. This process produces two (daughter) cells that should be genetically identical to the parent cell. Germ cells, oocyte and spermatozoa, undergo meiotic cell division. 1  Mitosis segregation of chromosomes and formation of 2 nuclei.  Cytokinesis splitting of the cell as a whole into 2 daughter cells.
