The risks that even small-time pot traffickers take to transport weed across Colorado state lines are increasing as law enforcement in neighboring states set up more border checkpoints, increase inspections of storage facilities and shipping containers and even take Colorado to court.
gamete. Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.
Meiosis is a process by which we can halve the number of chromosomes. It takes place whenever the organism has to produce daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. In humans, meiosis occurs in spermatogonial and oogonial cells to produce sperms and eggs respectively. In higher plants which have a dominant diploid sphorophytic phase, the gametophytic phase is produced by meiosis. Meiosis occurs in almost all the higher living organisms.
