Meiosis is a type of cell division that makes sex cells, or gametes. Errors during meiosis can lead to mutations in gametes. Defective gametes that undergo fertilization may result in miscarriages or ultimately lead to genetic disorders. The most likely mistake to occur during meiosis is chromosomal non-disjunction, which results in the wrong number of chromosomes in a sex cell.

All perceptions mediated by cutaneous and/or kinesthetic sensibility are referred to as tactual perception. The sense of touch may be classified as passive and active, and the term haptic is often associated with active touch to communicate or recognize objects. Haptic technology has made it possible to investigate how the human sense of touch works by allowing the creation of carefully controlled haptic virtual objects.
