Springer; 1 edition | December 20, 2007 | ISBN-10: 3540753710 | 365 pages | PDF | 4.79 MB
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, reshuffling the homologous chromosomes by their centromeres, and recombining chromosome arms by crossing-over.
