Changes in Ploidy and DNA Content During Meiosis
Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, generating genetically unique haploid cells essential for sexual reproduction. While mitosis maintains the diploid state of somatic cells, meiosis orchestrates a precise sequence of events that alter both ploidy and DNA content across two sequential divisions. Understanding these changes provides insight into genetic diversity, developmental biology, and the origins of
