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.
Gametogenesis is the overall term given for the production of gametes, the egg and sperm cell. Oogenesis is the process where the ovum or egg cell is made. Oogenesis is the female type of gametogenesis where the opposite is spermatogenesis for the male production of sperm cells. Mitotic division is where the cell replicates the DNA before splitting into identical daughter cells with a full set of chromosomes or diploid.
