∙ 9y agoMeiosis is a process of cell reduction because the number of chromosomes per cell is reduced in half. It is decreased from a diploid number to a haploid number.

∙ 12y agoYes, That's why its called Reduction Division.

∙ 12y agoMeiosis produces 4 daughter cells which have half the genetic material of the original cell. Therefore the amount of genetic material has been reduced during division.

What Process was once called reduction division?
meiosis
How would you describe the process of meiosis?
Meiosis is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
3 Meiosis is from a Greek word meaning to diminish or lessen Why is this an appropriate term?
The process of meiosis results in gametes (sperm and eggs) which contain one half of the chromosomes (genetic material) of the parent cell. So it results in a reduction of the number of chromosomes. Another term for meiosis is "reduction division".
Meiosis II is similar to which process?
Meiosis II is identical to Mitosis. Meiosis is split into two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is similar to mitosis however the cells resulting from it have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
What process Are Gametes produced?
meiosis is the process by which gametes are formed
What Process was once called reduction division?
meiosis
Meiosis is a process of cell reduction?
No, it is the process of cellular reproduction of sex cells
The chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid during what?
meiosis I is reduction, meiosis II is division.
How would you describe the process of meiosis?
Meiosis is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
Which statement is true about meiosis Meiosis is a process that duplicates and divides the nuclear contents only?
i really dont know
What is Meiosis is also known as?
asexual reproductionA reduction of chromosomes.Or:A nuclear and cell division process.

The main results of meiosis?
Meiosis is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
What is carbon reduction?
the process of carbon reduction is called carbon reduction process
What is the process of division that results in the formation of cells with half the usual number of chromosomes?
The process of meiosis.
