Meiosis is cell division of the germ cells, the egg and sperm. It occurs in the ovary in females and testis in males.
in females: ovaries in males: testes
Meiosis can only ocur in sex cells
The Gametes
In the testes

mitosis occurs more frequently then meiosis
Mitosis does not in fact occur in all of the tissues of the body. Mitosis occurs in all tissues of the body that are not sex tissues.
Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).
when does the duplication of chromosomes occur?
It happens in the testies for males and ovaries for femal
One thing that happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis is that produces 2 cellular divisions. This occurs as a direct result of sexual reproduction.
