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.
Meiosis is the process that divides cells to produce gametes. In humans, the male gamete is sperm and the female gamete is an egg. A cell produced in meiosis has half the chromosomes of the original cell. This is because the male gamete and the female gamete fuse together during fertilization.
