Meiosis is a form of cell division which occurs in the gonads (sex organs). The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that meiosis involves two divisions and results in 4 'daughter cells' whereas mitosis only involves one division and results in two 'daughter cells' Meiosis is important as it produces cells for reproduction (gametes), and the number of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells is half the number of the original cell so that when fertilization occurs, the normal number of chromosomes is restored.

In what part of your body system does meiosis occur?
Meiosis produces sex cells, so it occurs in the reproductive organs, primary the ovary in females and the testes in males.

Where does meiosis occur in segmented worms?
Remember that meiosis ONLY occurs in the sex organs (gonads). In segmented worms, meiosis occurs in the cocoon they excrete after intercourse with another hermaphroditic worm. However, ALL the other cells in the annelid undergo mitosis.
What happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis?
One thing that happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis is that produces 2 cellular divisions. This occurs as a direct result of sexual reproduction.
What happens in meiosis you that does not occur in meiosis?
One thing that happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis is that produces 2 cellular divisions. This occurs as a direct result of sexual reproduction.

Meiosis occurs in the sporophyte.
What happens in meiosis I that does that occur in meiosis Ii?
DNA is copied.
