meiosis
[noun]
Process, occurring in sexually reproducing eukaryotes, in which a single cell divides twice, yielding four cells, also called gametes, each of which is haploid (it contains half the genome of the organism). In males, gametes produced are called sperm, whereas gametes produced by females are called ova, or eggs.
