Once per life cycle, mitotic nuclear divisions are replaced by meiosis I and II—reducing chromosome number from the diploid level to a haploid genome and recombining chromosome arms by crossing-over. In animals, all this happens during formation of eggs and sperm—in yeasts before spore formation. Th...
