The NCAA has instituted strict guidelines for eligibility under medical exceptions for banned substances, including stimulants used to treat ADHD/ ADD, medications for male-pattern baldness, peptide hormones (hGH), and anabolic steroids (testosterone) or any other medications banned* by the NCAA.
Meiosis also differs from mitosis in that it involves a process known as recombination, during which chromosomes exchange segments with one another. As a result, the gametes produced during meiosis are genetically unique.
In animals, meiosis results directly in the formation of gametesâthe reproductive cells, egg and sperm. The successful union of an egg and a sperm is called fertilization, and the resulting cell is called a zygote. The zygote contains genetic material donated from both parents, and is genetically distinct from either.
