Back

Meiosis is the process of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes (sperm and eggs).

Front

What are gametes?

Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that carry half the genetic information of an organism.

Front

What is the basic unit of life?

Back

The basic unit of life is the cell, which is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism.

What is an organelle?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions (e.g., mitochondria, chloroplasts).
