Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction
Meiosis, a type of cell division, results in production of gametes (eggs & sperm). Genetically unique sex cells combine at fertilization to form one-of-a-kind offspring.

The Process of Pollination in Flowering Plants
Once female and male gametes (egg and pollen) have formed, pollination is the process that brings them together so fertilization may occur.

Human Life Cycle Mitosis & Meiosis
It all begins with the fusion of a haploid sperm cell provided by the father and the haploid ovum of the mother. Gametes unite when the nuclei of sperm and egg merge.

What's the Difference between Mitosis & Meiosis
Mitosis is how the cells of our body make more cells for growth, development and repair. Meiosis is how our body makes sex cells, or gametes (eggs or sperm).
