	[No title]
		In meiosis, the diploid cell's genome, which is composed of ordered structures of coiled DNA called chromosomes, is replicated once and separated twice, producing four haploid cells each containing half of the original cell's chromosomes.
		Meiosis uses many biochemical processes that are similar to those used in mitosis in order to distribute chromosomes among the resulting cells; however the outcome is very different.
		Meiosis I and II are both divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase subphases, similar in purpose to their analogous subphases in the mitotic cell cycle.

	Meiosis - Information at Halfvalue.com
		Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all eukaryotes, including single-celled organisms, that engage in sexual reproduction.
		During meiosis, the genome of a diploid germ cell, which is composed of long segments of DNA called chromosomes, undergoes DNA replication followed by two rounds of division, resulting in haploid cells called gametes.
		The process of meiosis in females is called oogenesis, and differs from the typical meiosis in that it features a long period of meiotic arrest known as the Dictyate stage and lacks the assistance of centrosomes.

	biology - Meiosis
		Meiosis (a Greek word meaning "decrease") is a cellular process that forms the basis for sexual reproduction, together with syngamy.
		Prophase I (the prophase of meiosis I) is the longest phase.
		Two daughter cells are formed by the end of Telophase I. Meiosis II Prophase II takes an inversely proportional time compared to telophase I. In this prophase we see the disappearance of the nucleoli and the nuclear envelope again as well as the shortening and thickening of the chromatids.

		Meiosis is a process of cell division in eukaryotes by which a diploid parent cell produces four haploid daughter cells.
		It consists of two cycles (meiosis I and meiosis II) of nuclear division (also called chromosome segregation), usually accompanied by cell division (especially in multicellular forms, where it is generally used to produce gametes (gametogenesis), preceded by DNA replication.
		Meiosis enables the genomes of two parents to be combined in such a way to generate offspring whose genetic makeup is related both to that of their parents and the other siblings, while remaining unique.

	Meiosis Summary
		Meiosis is a type of cell division that, in humans, occurs only in male testes and female ovary tissue, and, together with fertilization, it is the process that is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
		Meiosis I is preceded by an interphase period in which the DNA replicates (makes an exact duplicate of itself), resulting in two exact copies of each chromosome that are firmly attached at one point, the centromere.
		In meiosis, the diploid cell's genome, which is composed of ordered structures of coiled DNA called chromosomes, is replicated once and separated twice, producing four sets of haploid cells each containing half of the original cell's chromosomes.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Meiosis (figure of speech)
		Meiosis is a figure of speech that intentionally understates something or implies that it is lesser in significance or size than it really is. Meiosis often appears similar to auxesis except that in auxesis, the goal is ironic effect, not a diminished sense of importance.
		The term meiosis is derived from the Greek mei-o-o (“to make smaller”, "to diminish").
		A lawyer defending a schoolboy who has set fire to his school might call the act of arson a "prank." In this case using meiosis to attempt to diminish the significance of what he had done (in this case grand arson) to the level of a harmless joke or minor act of vandalism.

	Glossary of Poetic Terms from BOB'S BYWAY, Letter M
		A figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one object or idea is applied to another, thereby suggesting a likeness or analogy between them, as
		Sidelight: Frequently, the term metaphor, as opposed to a metaphor, is used to include all figures of speech, so the expression, "metaphorically speaking," refers to speaking figuratively rather than literally.
		A figure of speech involving the substitution of one noun for another of which it is an attribute or which is closely associated with it, e.g., "the kettle boils" or "he drank the cup." Metonymy is very similar to synecdoche.
